The KPA500 -cannot- be "daisy chained" into the K3/P3 combo. The function of the RS232 ports on the KPA500 is different. The RS232 (PC) is for connection to the PC for firmware updates, and other remote control apps (in development). The RS232 (XCVR) is for use when connecting to a Kenwood transceiver only. This is for receiving band switching info from the Kenwood. Bruce, N1RX > Team: > Now that I have completed my KPA500 (S/N 196) I have a question > regarding serial port connections.
