Joe, I don't know if you have received this information, but I have cables that I ordered from Dan Tassell of Expert Linears: [email protected] . He makes plug and play cables for various rigs to interface with the Expert Linears. He does good work and stands behind his products. More information is on their website http://expertlinears.com/ .

This is essential for the SPE atu (if fitted and active), to set its tune setting before first keyup on band preventing a possible swr alarm and switch to strandby. Without CAT freq read the ATU had then used SPE internal RF sense freq counter during that keyup, but not fast enough to prevent that initial alarm, so the amp still needs to be switched back to 'Operate' to continue, so CAT freq tracking is very convenient for the ATU to function before first keyup on band. I found DXLab Commander an excellent program in between SPE and transceiver to solve these situations For the Elecraft KX3 SPE with freq/band follow ; https://youtu.be/k87_lkO4mmY I also use it with my FTDX101MP to follow the SUB freq as well (does not work direct connected), The FT991 profile in SPE, and secondary Commander CAT works fine with either the MP and KX3 as primary Commander CAT connection. The amp has two inputs and 2 cat connections as you know. The Commander program is easily switched between the two, or a start profile setup for each transceiver. The CAT connection from SPE to PC has DB9 2&3 reversed or a nullmodem patch cable inserted in series with usual rig cat cable for rs-232 setups.
