Joe (W4TV) Thanks for the pictures.
Looking it seems the KPA500 front size is the same as the K3.

Jack, doesn't the k3 have a way of automatically setting the band on
the KPA500?
Yes. It can do this in two ways: (a) RF sensing; (b) band data from
the K3.
The K3 can be connected to the KPA500 via the 15-pin connector. This
will provide band data for the amp when the K3's band is
Wow. Everything I ever wanted in an amp. This is a great feature.
Fantastic integration. I can hardly wait another 2 months or so to
order one.

Bill,
I don't know how many lines you have connected between the THP and the
K3, but the simplistic view would be to use a relay to switch the RF
input between the two amplifiers and also place the non-selected one in
Standby. Of course that simplistic solution would require that both

Can the K3 drive a band decoder (aka automagic antenna sw) and the KPA500
simultaneously via the 15 pin connector?

Yes.
You might also take a look at our KRC2 band decoder, which provides
per-band sink and source outputs to drive antenna relays, etc. It can
be controlled directly from a K3.

Mike,
I am not Wayne, but I do not see a problem because the band data signals
from the K3 come from simple TTL level drivers (they are outputs).
There is nothing wrong with having multiple receivers listening to the
driver output - as long as the available current from the driver (fan

Another way is to add series diodes between the driver and the
amplifier. You will want to have pullups on the amplifier side.
Accidental powering is a major, but for the most part unrecognized,
problem with low-power equipment when one is not powered. We have to
provide isolation circuits

This is a good solution. The HL2.5 has internal pull-up resistors so you
would just need the series diodes in the interface cable (anode towards

Don,
Thank you for your input. I would also want band switching to work with
both. I know if I shut off the 2.5KFX it is bypassed. The issue is to
control both, with one or the other shut off. I operate lots

I wonder what the dimensions of the KPA500 are. It doesn't look much larger

Not including projections, the KPA500 is exactly the same size as the K3.
