The manual describes an optional cable availabe from Elecraft but it is
not in the price list. I have a K3 and P3. Is the cable part of the
kit or the assembled amp?
Can we purchase the European AC cord as it might be handy for those who
travel abroad.

Bear in mind, Mike, if you travel to the UK you will need yet a
different cord. In Great Britain with have a different power plug to
mainland Europe.

-- It is an optional cable since it is only
It also feeds back KPA500 status to the K3, which allows the K3 to
change between two user set power levels when the amp is in-line or
in standby. (Say 30-45W to drive the amp, and 100W when the amp is
bypassed.)
Is this done by a contact closure (e.g., DIGIN), AuxBus or CAT?
Access to the
It should be no problem to get the cord you need. From the photo it
appears that the end of the power cable is a standard IEC C13 female
plug connector as used on so many computers and other electronic
devices. A quick search on Google or your favorite supplier should
let you find the cord
Is part of a proprietary signaling protocol on the auxbus line in the cable.

This is correct. We use a standard IEC connector in our rear power
module, which also provides RF filtering etc.
We also supply fuses with the power cords.
3AG 12A fuse for 100-125V use. Our 110V cord uses 14 ga wire.
3AG 6A for 200-250V with the PWR-EU2P cable. That cord can use 16 or 18
ga
On page 16 of the KPA500 manual, the K3 cable pinout doesn't seem to
include the AUXBUS pin. I assume that's an error in the manual?
Also, how much benefit is there to including band-data from the K3? I
already have Y-adapters to share the ACC connectors between
band-decoders and FSK
Yes. All modes.

Correction - It will take a couple days to get the optional KPA500-K3
aux cable up on the order form - we are still checking on our cost for
this cable.
The extra power cords are now on the form.

Yes - that is an error inthe preliminary manual. We will correct it ASAP.

Any idea when the assembly manual will be available? I'd like to get
an idea how much is involved in building versus ordering a
factory-assembled unit.
