Thanks Don, that was what I needed to hear on your first post. After I figured out that nothing goes through the P3 from the K3 to the KAT500, things made a lot more sense...

What a nice setup I have now... I will be selling my ALS-1306, and Palstar HF-AUTO as a result of getting this little amp... Three db difference is nothing to worry about, so 500 watts is great... Got a chance to use it today on the EU opening on 20... How nice it is in CW... I have never run full break-in, over the past 50 years of being a ham... Should have tried it long ago! :)

Thank you for the help!

73s and thanks,

Dave,

I see that you have it figured out.

As to your question - the K3 and P3 connect together using the IF out coax and the RS-232 connection.

The KAT500/KPA500 connect using the AUX cable - that is no interconnection between the P3 and the KAT500/KPA500, they are entirely separate.

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?
