"To add to what Jack said, several of us use Kenwood transceiver (TS-590 and TS-890) with KPA500-KAT500 combos. The Aux cable is useless. To get the KPA500 to follow the radio frequency, here is the circuit of the homemade 9-pin cables we are using: https://groups.io/g/TS-890/files/Kenwood_KPA500_KAT500%20Y%20cable.pdf Mind you this is for Kenwoods (Elecraft copied their protocol). The amp will query the radio VFO A for frequency and the dumb KAT500 will follow along. The downside is the amp must be powered up to have the tuner track. Also you have to fuss with some parameters in the KAT500 to keep it from switching tuning solutions during a transmission when the frequency counter disagrees with the serial data. (Reportedly a known bug, now completely off Elecraft's radar)"
If I had know that chicken scratching would have been so widely disseminated I would have drawn it a bit neater. Good to know it has been useful. Don't give up hope on the range of the Elecraft radar. I'm seeing some encouraging blips in the grass.
