Surprising, because I couldn't find any mention of
the KPA500 in his K3 book by searching the pdf
version. Maybe I did a typo.

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.

phil,
I'm doing exactly that - I have a KX3 and a K3 that share a KPA500, KAT500, and
several antennas. I went by the diagram in Fred Cady's book on the KX3. Works
like a charm. I can get up to 250 watts out with the KX3 driving the amp at 12
watts. And, no, I do not disconnect anything when I want to use the KX3 with
the amp and tuner. Just make sure that (1) the K3 is powered off if you are
using the KX3, and (2) your coax switch connecting the two radios to the amp
has very good isolation. I'm using a two position Daiwa coax switch at the
moment.
Let me know if you need more info. I've been using this configuration for a few
months now.

I am planning on configuring my KX3 to use the KPA500 and the KAT500. Has
anyone done this and what did you need to do? I already know how to hook up
the KX3 to the KPA500 but would like to hear from someone using all three
together. In particular, connections between KPA500 and KAT500.
Also, follow up question -- if you have a configuration where you switch KX3
and K3 driving the KPA500+KAT500 do you disconnect any K3 involved AUX cables?
I presume you would run with the K3 powered off if you are driving with a KX3.
Thanks,
