K2/KX3 with KPA500, cable?

[DJ6FO]

Hi all,
interested in sharing your experience with connecting a K2/100 or a KX3 respectively to KPA 500.
Is there probably something similar as the KPAK3AUX cable for
the K3 to be usedr with K2/ KX3? Has anybody experimented yet with
'homemade' ideas / modified cables?
Thanks for any input,
73 - Dieter

Should be easy as pi.  Use the basic connection scheme and hook up a keying line and the RF.  The KPA and KAT will automatically switch bands when they detect a dah's worth of RF.
I put a little intro guide on my website:

Dieter - if you go by what Fred has documented in his book, it will work superbly. I use my K3 AND KX3 with a KPA500 and KAT500 - I’ve got a two position coax switch that allows me to use whichever radio I want to drive the amp and tuner.

I followed the info (and diagrams) in Fred’s book and my KX3 can drive the KPA500 to about 220+- watts output.

I highly recommend his book(s).
