K-Line connections question

Ciao,
i own a K3s with P3 panadpter.
I would like to have a KPA500 and a KAT500 (here in Italy more a dream that reality, very hard to find).

I am wondering if is possibile connect TOGHETER in some way and have all working as planned:

- K3s
- P3
- KPA500
- KAT500
- Computer connection for CAT control

without re-work the connections for firmware upgrade, ecc.

Thanks in advance, Graziano IW2NOY

Re: K-Line connections question

Graziano,

Yes, they will interconnect and work together seamlessly.
Just make the connections as indicated in the various manuals and you
will have a "500 watt transceiver".
The firmware updating for the KPA500 and KAT500 is separate from that
for the K3S and P3, and those PC connections only have to be active for
the firmware load.
The PC connection for CAT control will be the same as you have now with
the K3S and P3.

Re: K-Line connections question

Thanks for the answer Fred, i grab the document, now is in my "Elecraft Library".

I own your book on the K3 that i found useful, i am thinking to buy the last on the K3s, i am looking at the differences.
I'm interested also to the book "Elecraft Macro Programming ", but i am waiting to have a K-Pod.

Compliments for your books.
