K3 + SPE 2K-FA Amplifier hook-up problems

[Locherbob]

I just purchased an SPE 2K-FA linear. I have a cable I bought that is
supposed to have the K3 control the amplifier much like the cable
between the K3 and the KPA-500. The control is not working.

The linear manual is a bit lacking in clarity on the matter of the
cable, and I find a lot of conflicting advice on the internet.

If someone who is using a K3 and the SPE 2K-FA, or the the K3 and the
SPE 1K-FA, which has an identical interface, could contact me with
advice I would very much appreciate it.

I am otherwise very pleased with the amp so far - it effortlessly puts
out 1500 watts with about 32 watts drive, and is rather quiet.

Bob I have a friend in CA. who is running that setup and I emailed him to
contact you on this. Sorry I can't help but I run a KPA500 sometimes and a
Alpha 9500 most of the time with my main K3.

BTW have enjoyed your books and still reread them from time to time, when
friends remember to return them.
