Re: [Elecraft] K3 and KAT connections without a KPA500

No, it’s the multi-core cable with a 15 pin plug on each end.

Check Page 5 of the KAT500 manual.

The Aux i/o is the one with phono type plug on the end, correct?

This is pretty simple, Jim. The AuxIO cable goes from the K3 to the KAT500. 
Then one of the Antenna outputs of the K3 goes to the RF input of the KAT500.
Of course the antennas connect to the KAT500 then (as they did before).
That is pretty much it.

[Elecraft] K3 and KAT connections without a KPA500

2023-11-04 Thread Jim Cary
I’ve had to take my KPA500 out of service and want to operate just with the K3 
and KAT.  I’ve tired different cabling configurations but can’t seem to get the 
k3 to communicate.  The manuals show all sorts of connections with amps, but 
not without an amp.

I know it has to be simple, but sure is beating me!
