Curiously, I just yesterday fired up my new KPA500 (kit) and had a similar
issue. I reached out to Elecraft but was away when the return call came
through. I was sent a procedure for tuning the KAT500, which is hard to do when
the K3 refuses to transmit. As it turns out, for reasons that escape me, TX INH
was set Hi in my K3, despite me never (knowingly) have set it, since I have no
transceivers. Go into the Config menu and dial up TX INH and make sure it's "OFF".

I just purchased the entire K line. I have the K3, P3 and KAT500 working
just fine. I cannot get any power through the KPA500. It switches bands and
it appears to be okay. But when I push the foot switch on my K3, the K3
transmits but the KPA500 is not producing any power or SWR. I must be
missing something. Do I need to change any of the default settings on the
KPA500 menu? On the back of the amplifier, I have the antenna in and out
connected as well as the 9 pin cable from the AUX on the amp to the AVP on
the KAT500. Thank for your help.
