Thanks for all the helpful suggestions - the issue has been resolved, and the
K-Line is now work as it should, per the manual. Had a bad board in the KAT500
and was unable to run the KAT500 Utility program. And that meant I was not able
to set it for optimizing for the KPA500. Put in the new
Hi all,
Now that we are talking about the tuning of the K3 line. As a matter of
fact, I have the K3-KPA500-KAT500 combo and when tuned, it workes just
fine.All is working as it should but still, this combunation can do much
better. The tuning process is not so smooth as I would expect it to
Folks, sorry if this has been discussed on the reflector before, but I've
looked through the archives and drew a blank. I know I saw it but try as I may,
can't find any related posts.
I just this week added a KPA500 and KAT500 to my K3 station. Documentation sez
that the KAT500 tunes best
Sounds like the amplifier key interrupt may not be working. Do you by chance
have both the RCA cable and 15 pin ACC cable connected? The wiring diagrams in
the KAT500 are important. The amp doesn't switch to standby, instead its key

No, don't have the RCA cable - only the K3--KAT500--KPA500 cables. What I do
have is an inability to read and pay attention to what I'm reading!!!
Good grief - I had been using a third party tuner until I put the KAT500
together and the process is a tad different. Now I see what was happening.
