If you want to connect both amplifiers to the same K3, one on Antenna Port 1, the second on Antenna Port 2, just connect a second KPAK3AUX cable between the KPA1500 and the Y-BOX. But the K3 will key both at the same time if they are both powered on, and they will both be on the same band, and only one will receive RF from the K3.
If all you want to do is swap the KPA500 for the KPA1500, all of your existing cabling to the Y-BOX and KPA500 will work exactly the same since they are 100% compatible. 73, Bob, N6TV On Feb 12, 2018 12:26 PM, "N2TK, Tony" <tony....@verizon.net> wrote: What about if you have the earlier Y-Box and have a KPA500 on it already?

A $10 MF 15-pin cable (not a VGA cable) will work fine because the internal wiring of the Y-BOX v2.1 matches the Elecraft custom cable wiring wiring. It also adds a feature so you can power up the KPA1500 remotely with a K3 macro (something not supported by Y-adapters with an unmodified KPAK3AUX cable).
