Though it works, best practice when using a K3 is to use AUX cables. The AUXBUS line (pin 2) in the AUX cable provides notification to the K3 as the amp switches from standby to operate, so drive power can be adjusted automatically AUXBUS also lets you use the band buttons on the KPA500 to change bands on the K3, which most folks find much more convenient than cycling through the band up/down buttons on the radio.
