Re: [Elecraft] Dual Ptt
Hi all. I use hard switching between the radios to the input of the KPA500 & KAT500. The Yaesu has +12vdc on the Ptt output except when it is transmitting, then it goes to ground. Just looking for the simple way to switch PTT between the Yaesu 1000mp and the K3 as it goes to the KPA500 & the KAT500.

[Elecraft] Dual Ptt
Hi all I need to be able to key the KPA500 & KAT500 from both a Yaesu 1000mp and my K3. I assume (I know don't assume) I can use diodes to isolate both radios. Any thoughts?

[Elecraft] KAT500
Can one use the 12vdc of the K3 to power the KAT 500? The K3 has the latest update for the 12 dc.

[Elecraft] K-3 4629
Just got my K3 back from the factory. Everything that I have tested works correctly. This week I say a email referring to Pre Amp 1 and 2. I can't find anything in the manual so far. Are there such items or am I not interpreting that email correctly. I should have saved it but I didn't. I also should state that I am very new to the K3. Have only had for two weeks. Was from a estate sale.
