Hi Bill,
The AUX button is for future expansion. Not determined at this time.
The computer RS-232 is for firmware downloads and remote control, if desired.
It does not need to be connected for regular AMP operation. You do not daisy
chain the KPA500 at all.
The second RS-232 is for monitoring Kenwood band info, since those rigs do not
have dedicated band data outputs.
73,
Eric

Whatzit do? :-)
Also, I think I saw a post regarding the KPA500 needing it's own serial
port, true? Is it just for firmware install? And the XCVR serial port is
just for Kenwoods?
Would be nice (*) for a K-Line to simply daisy chain the K's together:
PC - KPA500 - P3 - K3 (* = simpler for 1-port PCs, no cable
thrashing)
Patiently waiting for my April 6 ordered KP500/K
