Hi Tom,
I am also a very happy KPA500/KAT500 user with an IC7000, 7100, and 7300. I
home brewed my own interface for the antenna tuner and the “big DIN” connector.
They all start an autoswitch routine to memorized frequency values that is fast
and accurate.
I always put the KPA500 in standby
The original question was not about a PC at all - it was about an Android
app called KX3 Companion running on an Android tablet.
The application website states in one place that the USB cable that comes
with the KX3, plus an OTG cable, are all that is needed. However, later in
states that a new

That is very interesting. Maybe I have an issue that I do not
understand. It sounds like your setup is working as I would have
expected. I also have a 7300, so I will have to give that a try. I do
not usually use the 7300 with the KAT-500 and I am a little worried
about powering the
Are computer mic inputs still mostly MONO while the LineIn inputs are usually
STEREO?

True but there are tuning solutions that appear safe at low power yet exceed
the amp return voltage allowances at high power (it isn’t the best tuning mix)
and trip the amp.
The amp is re-enabled as soon as the tuning is completed, a risk.
So it’s wise to at least test the match after
Jack -
I don't see any need to do that. The tuner cuts the amp until the new antenna
is tuned.

Bill,
It depends on the computer and the external soundcard - so the answer is
'maybe'.
In general, if there is only one input, and it is configured for MIC, it
will be mono. If configured for LINE, it will be stereo.
So it depends on the soundcard settings. If there are separate MIC and
Tom -
There is no problem in powering the KAT500 from the IC7300. Works like a
charm, and powers as the Icom AH4 tuner does.

As someone who just bought a KX3 - I am ignorant of how they connect to other
devices...
I recently purchased a KX3 Companion app for my tablet to use as a waterfall
display and I'm having difficulty finding cables to connect the two together.
Has anyone else used the KX3 Companion app with
Coming in late on this discussion ... but wanting to add my .02 worth.
I have a setup similar to Tom's, except I have the IC-7300. With that unit,
the KAT500 does, in fact, follow band changes on the 7300 with the FIRST TUNE
request. It doesn't matter if I hit TUNE on the KAT, the 7300 or
Aubrey,
Did you enter the menu and set the RX IQ parameter to ON? If set to OFF
(the default) there will be nothing out of the RX IQ jack.

I've done a lot of things with KX3. But first, you need to tell me
what companion app you are using. The best that I've used so far is
Win4K3 with com0com. Win4K3 acts as the center of integration for what
you are going to do on your computer, Com0com is the port replicator
that
From the website for KX3 Companion:
"It connects to your KX3 by using the USB Serial cable that comes with the
radio. You’ll also need an inexpensive OTG Cable adapter to connect the serial
USB to your mobile device. You can find them for a very few dollars. No other
cables are needed!”
If you don't mind a little simple programming check out the program AUTOIT
(do a google search).
It allows you to automate windows programs even simulating mouse clicks on
specific buttons and such, might be able to do what you want.

A point that I missed, make sure your mic input is actually stereo
and not mono, many are. It must be stereo.

In addition to requiring a stereo input (Mic or Line In), an internal
soundcard may not have sufficient bandwidth for a panadapter
application, and an external soundcard may be needed.
