Cabling a Yaesu FT 950 to a KPA 500

[Jack Molinari]

Am I correct that PA KEY of the KPA 500 is connected to pins 2 and 3 of the Linear plug on the rear of the FT 950 in order to ground the circuit?  It is not my intention to use the ALC.

Pins 3 and 8 of the FT-950 are paralleled and tied to ground, pin 5, on
the KPA-500.  (Not PA KEY, pin 2.)  I looked at the FT-950 schematic and
it appears pin 8 (FT-950 - TX Inhibit) can be left floating, but I went
ahead and grounded it anyway as recommended.

Should read: (Not PA KEY, pin 10 on KPA-500.)
