Hi, Gerard,
Setting up the KAT500 without a KPA amp is, indeed, quite workable.
Some details on this are found on Page-11 of the KAT500 downloadable

That page, and others, reflect the units versatility, its offering of

While bench testing with a dummy load I noticed that I would get high a

Johnny,
You have a Power Control problem - alignment is not going to fix it, and
you will have to correct it and have proper power control before any of
the alignment results make sense.
Since you indicate that the problem exists with only the base K2, that
is the place to start troubleshoot

The RS-232 connector on the K3 is generally regarded as an input. The

Yes, a Winkeyer and AFSK using the K3s's built in sound card seems
to really work well. I've had no problems using this set up, and I
believe that the additional filtering in the K3s when using AFSK does
help. N1MM macros seem to like the Winkeyer and requires nothing special
