Noel,
The answer is on page 5 of the KX3 manual. The Keyline Out signal is on
the ring. The tip is the GPIO input. Of course, the shell is common
(ground).
So connect to the ring and shell.

Hello,
One of my friend is making a cable to key the KPA500 with his KX3.
According to the book, the KPA500 Pa Key must be connected to the ACC2
2.5mm plug as followSHELL and RING not TIP...
I read that in the erratas section
It is right like that??or shell and tip???
Thanks
Noel
KX3 to KXPA100 connections are covered well in the KXPA100 manual.
Download from Elecraft if you do not yet have that manual.
Connecting the KPA500 to the KXPA100 requires a cable from the KXPA100
PA KEY to the KPA500 PA KEY connector. Of course, you would also
connect the coax, but that
I am thinking of setting up a configuration to easily switch my KX3 and K3 with
my KPA500. That is, I want to use both K3 and KX3 to drive KPA500 without too
much cable swapping or re-configuration work.
Has anyone done this and if so how did you do it?
Right now, my K-line is K3/P3 --
Why?

KX3 has dual-watch and the K3 doesn't. I would like to use my KX3 for DX that
often operates split and so far working without also listening on the split TX
frequency is giving me a clear disadvantage. This is all CW, not SSB.
Since I only have the KX3/10 right now, I am thinking that I
Phil,
I have that exact setup: K3/KX3--KPA500--KAT500--Multiple antennas. Works
very well. I went by the guide picture in the Kady book for the KX3. I use a
two position coax switch between the K3 and the KX3. Do you have Fred Kady's
KX3 book?

Sound good, Phil. I'm pretty new to the K3 and KX3
so I wondered what you could do with the KX3 but
not with the K3. Now I know. I'm just adding the
KPA500/KAT500 now. Redoing the cables in the shack
is taking much longer than I expected.

K3 will do dual watch too, if you add the KRX3 sub receiver module. Costs a
bit more, but is more flexible than the KX3 dual watch feature.

Another cool thing about the KX3 is that RX I/Q output port. Since there is no
KXP3 (coming soon...? Maybe) I run the RX I/Q output into the Line In port on
my computer and run the free software package NaP3. I'm using an Apple iMac
with 27 display, so I have a very nice
Jim,
Thanks. Yes, I do have Fred Cady's book. Why I never looked in there to find
some answers is one of the mysteries of the week. The other mystery of the
week though is how is it that (Seattle Seahawks head coach) Pete Carroll's
favorite TV show is The Bachelor.

Matt,
Actually, the KRX3 sub-receiver for my K3 is on my to buy list. As of today,
this list is growing faster than I can buy:
1. K3 sub-receiver, KRX3 plus needed roofing filters.
2. KXPA100 plus antenna tuner.
3. 2-Meter option for KX3 when it is available.
4. As of today, the PX3.

It is a new problem for me. Throughout all of my childhood, in school, and
such, having the name phil has made me unique. There were all kinds of Jims,
Bobs, Mikes, Daves, Dicks, but rarely any other phils. My best friend in
6th/7th grade (now also a FB friend) is

Sound like all you need is the W2IHY iPlus box.
It will switch between 3 radios with one mic, PTT and an amp...
I have and use it all the time.

I currently have my K3 hooked up to the KPA500 and KAT500 using the
optional band data cable.
What would be the cleanest way to be able to hook up the KX3 to the
KPA500/KAT500 with the least amount of cable swapping?
Obviously I would need a coax switch to switch the RF input from the K3 to
H Mike,
Only amp keying and RF from the KX3 (or any other rig) must be fed the
amp. No alc is needed with the Kx3 due to its low drive level.
The KPA500 will automatically and seamlessly band switch when the KX3
first transmits on a new band by using its internal frequency counter.
