My KAT500 is always on. It is forever on. It is on, and on, and on. Almost
never is it off. The only time it is off is when I am out for some extended
time period (more than 24 hours) and I throw the master switch that turns
everything off. Other than that, the KAT500 with its cute little g
Some place back in time I was told to turn the KAT500 on first, followed
by the KAT500, and then the K3. I still do it this way and have never
had any problems getting things to play well together after initial
turn-on. Unlikely that I would want to change from something that works.

I power my P3 and PR6-10 from the RCA jack on the P3, using an RCA splitter. If
the K3 can supply enough current for your needs, add one more splitter and run
all three from there.

Hi Sal,
The KPA500 is a pretty easy kit but you have to take time to carefully
inventory the screws.
Here's a tip. Look at figure 40 on page 28 of the assembly manual. I suspect
it would be easier to bend the gray wire prior to mounting the connector in
the chassis. Access is tight in its final
Oh, and one question:
what do people do with all these power cables?
So K3 has one RCA 1A power outlet on the back, right? And i'm using that for
the P3.
Now i need one for the KAT500 and one for the W2.
W2 came with a pre-made cable that is meant to go into the K3 (taken by the P3).
So i'm guessi
Hi everyone!
Finally assembled the KAT500 last night.
I never thought i would have this much difficulty with the tuner as opposed to
K3/P3.
Those SO-239 lugs are tricky! Especially the XMTR one. I actually ended up
using a black screw instead of the zinc one 'cause it just wouldn't fit.

L-bracket at LB1 on the circuit board. The instructions don't specify
whether the 3/16" 4-40 screw used is flat head or pan head. Can anyone who
