I have had the IC-7610 and the KPA500/KAT500 for over three years and it
works very well when I switch bands with the intention of transmitting. My
"nit" to pick is that the KAT500, as has been said, can not be preset by
the IC-7610 in receive. It can preset the KPA500, for all bands but WARC,

May work for you but are you using KAT500 antenna port selection? My issues
with RF detection as the primary tuning mechanism include

Chuck,
I, too, have been using an IC-7610 with the KAT500/KPA500 combination for
several years. My IC-7610 TUNER jack is connected to the TUNE jack on the
rear of the KAT500 via a LDG Electronics IC-PAC-6 cable. While the TUNE
button on the IC-7610 or the TUNE button on the KAT500 activates the
I'm currently running the K3S with the KAT500/KPA500 combo. It works
great.
I'm starting to look at what my next rig might be, and have tentatively

the KAT/KPA just as well as the K3 does.
How about the IC-7610? Are
