The ACC cable can be connected through a simple Y cable (I think I bought mine from Elecraft) so that the remoterig box can be left connected all the time. Or you can buy a YBox, or build your own like I did before they were available. As for the PTT, I put together a box with 6 parallel RCA jacks for PTT on one side and 6 more on the other side for KEYOUT. (I have amps for the 2 meter and 70 cm transverters.) The only other connection I need to worry about is the serial cable. I updated the i/o boards to the new one with the USB connection so that I can leave both the serial and USB cables connected at all times. So no cable switching when I want to go remote. I live in an apartment building, so my KPA500 is packed away in a box for the time being.
