George,
Do not be so quick to pass judgement, there are several options in the
power output path.
Remove the KAT1 - and do not forget to change the RF source jumper to
the K1 position.
After doing that, what is the power output on each band? If it is 5
watts or greater (usually 6 to 7 watts),

Apart from Don's advice, you may consider a built but older version K2. Doing
the modification update to an old but functionable K2 could be interesting.

If you can bring the feed lines to the KAT500, it will switch to the antenna
you chose when storing tuning information in memory automatically. It
handles up to 3 antennas.

If you have 3 antennas and the K3, KPA500, and eventually KAT500, isn't that

Will the KXPA100 100 W amp for the KX3 also integrate with a K3/10?
Would be useful when the KX3+KXPA100 is your backup rig. If the K3 100 W
stage fails, the KXPA100 could be used instead. There's a reason the K3
still is the main rig.
Plain RF sensing would work anyway, I guess. I was thinking

The Elecraft reflector does not have sub-categories, I believe that is
strictly a Nabble thing.
