In practice, wide split frequency operation is quite rare these days, so tracking VFO A is usually OK. Nevertheless, see page 16 - 18 of the KAT500 Owner's Manual <https://ftp.elecraft.com/KAT500/Manuals%20Downloads/E740183%20Rev%20D1%20KAT500%20Owner's%20Manual.pdf> for interfacing to KPA500 and KAT500 via CBL-KENSER500 to a Kenwood rig. Note the Kenwood TS-590SG menu settings on Page 18. 64 TRANSFER SPLIT FREQUENCY DATA TO ANOTHER TRANSCEIVER 65 COPY SPLIT FREQUENCY DATA TO VFO These options may help the KAT500 track split frequencies better, but I have not traced them to see how they change the output streams.
