Have you actually read the KPA-500 Owner's Manual? Use the "K3 Enhanced cabling" diagram on page 22 but substitute a cable made according to the instructions in "Icom Cable Connections" (page 18) instead of the DB15HD/DB15HD cable used with the K3. As an alternative, you can allow the KPA-500 to band switch based on detected RF and use the "Basic Cabling" diagram on page 20. In that case you will want to use two RCA connections - one between the "SEND" jack on the IC-7300 and PA Key on the KPA-500, the other between ALC Out on the KPA-500 and ALC jack on the IC-7300. Regardless of which (basic or enhanced) cabling you use, be sure to connect ALC and set the KPA-500 ALC output level as documented on page 10 to prevent the Icom transceiver from over driving the KPA-500 if the Icom "Power" level is set too high. Everything you need is in the KPA-500 Owner's Manual if you simply study it. 73, ... Joe, W4TV On 2018-05-09 2:06 PM, Brian Phelan wrote:
