Steve,
Dick's solution will work, but removing the conductor on pin 10 if your
cable is an easier solution.
What Dick is saying is that you are using both the pin 10 connection and
the RCA cable PTT connection between the K3 and the KAT500. I believe
your problem results from attempting to use both. Since the cable pin
10 will not activate the RCA cable between the KAT500 and your
amplifier, removing the pin 10 signal from your cable seems to be the
only reasonable alternative.

There seems to be two possible solutions for my amp-disabled problem:
1. Remove the wire to pin #10 from my homebrew cable, and still use the
RCA cable from the KAT500 to the SB220 amp.
2. Make a new cable from the SB220 to the 15 socket on the back of
the KAT500 marked "AMP", using pin #10 for the centre conductor of the
RCA cable and pin #5 to the shield/ground of the RCA cable.
(Suggested by Dick K6KR.)
Iain, your suggestion of removing the wire to pin #10 is the easiest option
for me,
but I will wait a bit to see what others say
