Ken,
Do you have the cable wired first to the KAT500 and then on to the KPA500?
The KAT500 must interrupt the keying of the KPA500 when it needs to tune.

Thank you Don.
The pin 3 (send) did the trick perfectly. Now it works at 300 to 400
watts out with 20 in. The problem i have now is when i switch bands
the kat will not tune unless i remove all AC power from the amp.

Ken,
Look at your Icom 7600 documentation. I believe the 'keyword' may be
"Send" or Keyout or something of that nature (PTT should be an
input to
the transceiver, not an output, but some manufacturers mix them up
causing confusion - check the documentation).
Connect that output from your transceiver first to the KAT500 AMP KEY
connector and from the other KAT500 AMP KEY connector to the KPA500.
That allows the KAT500 to disable the amplifier keying if the KAT500
needs to tune.
You should then be "good to go" with the basic cabling. When you get
the proper cable, it will integrate better with your Icom, but the
basic
cabling will get you on the air with your new toys.

Elecraft is sending one but it might take a week. In the mean time
does anyone have the accessory pin outs to rca plug so i can make
one and use my new toy.
