Re: [Elecraft] Controlling KAT500/KPA500 with Icom 7610
Buck, I have a similar setup with an IC-7300 and my KAT500/KPA500 combo. It does not auto band change before key up. It does change on a quick, low power tune however. IIRC I made a not so recent inquiry to Elecraft yielded the explanation that my experience was correct. If I can find the message I will post the text. As Ken WA2LBI indicated in his message, what I did subsequently was to jettison the "ICOM AH4 cable" set up (KAT500 Owners Manual, pg 8 to 10) and just used a generic Analog radio configuration. The frequency sensing capabilities of the ATU and amp do the job fast and efficiently. Currently I use a 4-way RCA audio switch to select the keyline sig from one of the HF radios I use and a remote antenna/rig selector (MFJ 4724) to route the selected rig to the amp. The KAT500 remembers my preferred HF antenna for the band I have chosen to use so the antenna side of the MFJ is used to switch other coaxial feeds.

Re: [Elecraft] Controlling KAT500/KPA500 with Icom 7610
The cable between the IC-7610 and the KAT500 does two things. First, it supplies power to the KAT500 so it turns on when the IC-7610 is powered up. Second, it allows the TUNER button on the IC-7610 to cause the '7610 to switch to CW mode and transmit an approximate 10W signal. That, in turn, causes the KAT500 to attempt to find a matching solution to the selected antenna. You shouldn't need one of those "tuner plugs" as that function is built into the KAT500 when connected by the AH-4 Molex cable wiring. The above assumes that you have the KAT500 connected to the IC-7610 ANT1 antenna port. If your KAT500 is not working that way with the IC-7610 TUNER button then I would recheck the cable wiring and verify that the KAT500 is connected to ANT1 on the IC-7610. If those are good it is possible there is a problem with the KAT500. Good luck! Ken WA2LBI On Mon, Apr 19, 2021 at 3:06 PM Buck wrote: > Auto-sense works.

Re: [Elecraft] Controlling KAT500/KPA500 with Icom 7610
Auto-sense works. I just don't understand why Icom/Elecraft would even
suggest hooking up the molex connector to the KAT500 if it doesn't do
anything. It is a waste of time.
I got the W2GNY plug to fool the 7610 into transmitting as 10 signal and
it works. I guess I will stick with that.
