I'd like some confirmation of this. I can see in the KPA500 manual (rev A,
page 16) that pin 11 of the AUX connector is INHIBIT#. That's fine. Pin 11
on the K3 AUX connector is DIGOUT1, OK. However, also in the KPA500 manual
(page 17), the wiring for a cable between the K3 and the KPA500 does not use
pin 11. I have constructed my K3-KPA500 AUX cable according to this table,
in anticipation of receiving my KPA500 kit later this summer.
 
If this table is correct,  I cannot see how DIGOUT1 affects the KPA500. If
in fact, It does inhibit the KPA500 (auto-magically, without being
connected), does this mean that DIGOUT1 can no longer be used to control the
PR6 preamp, when a KPA500 is connected to a K3?
 
Somewhat confused in NH,

> Make sure that DIGOUT1 is turned OFF from the K3. Turning it on disables
the KPA. Note that this is a per-band function, so it needs to > be turned
off for each band you wish to use the KPA500.
