Jim, I think you mentioned the Cady KX3 book to me on a previous similar message. If not, it was someone else. But, at that time, I searched for the diagram and could not find it. Upon the message below I searched again, page by page. Finally found it. Now, I looked in the table-of-contents but for some strange reason I never saw that section on the KX3 and KPA500.
I do have a Diamond CX-210 two-position switch. I have a bunch of those in my shack, also one 3 position. 73, phil, K7PEH On Apr 9, 2014, at 7:29 PM, Jim Bennett <w6...@mac.com> wrote: > phil, > > I'm doing exactly that - I have a KX3 and a K3 that share a KPA500, KAT500, > and several antennas.
