Don,
Thank you for helping, and thank you for indulging a newcomer to
Elecraft hardware, beyond the K3/P3.
As you can imagine I am excited to get this connected up, but being very
careful! Hence the questions here, and thank you again!
To clarify what I have now:
I have a K3, (not S, with the RS-232 port, not USB), for external
communications.
Can you expand on:
"There is no relationship between the K3 and P3 for considerations with
the amplifier and ATU."
What does this mean exactly?
My assumption set:
I am expecting the K3 to provide some sort of signal, (other than RF
into the amp, from the K3, in order to provide band switching
signaling), in order for the KAT/KPA to know what band they are supposed
to be on, and then switch to that band and tuning solution.
Is that a correct assumption on my part, or in my case, (not a K3S),
does the amp/tuner derive band information from the RF leaving the K3?
I bought used, and am unsure what the original owner had-- a K3 or K3S,
so I may not have the correct cable set for a K3. I will query the
previous owner tomorrow about this.
I am also giving a lot of info here that may not be relevant, as I am
assuming I know almost nothing about connecting this setup together,
given I can't locate a cabling diagram for the entire setup I have.
Again, thank you for the assistance here...
73s and thanks,

Dave,
Open the KAT500 manual to page 5 and see the cabling diagram depicted
there.
There is no relationship between the K3 and P3 for considerations with
the amplifier and ATU.
If you have a K3S - the P3 connects to the P3 with the RS232 connector
and not the ACC connector, so there is no conflict.
If you have the K3S or a K3 upgraded with the KIO3B, then download the
latest P3 manual and look at the cabling on page 5. You will need the
CBLP3Y to connect it as shown there.

Hello,
I have a K3, and a P3, connected to a computer. I now have a KAT500,
and a KPA500.
I do not see a full cabling diagram for the entire setup. Does one
exist? If so, where can I obtain it?
