KAT3 addition to K3 question

[RANDY DIDDEL]

Here is my setup at the QTH:  K3>KPA500>KAT500.  All work seamlessly together.  I am considering bringing the K3 out into the field for the upcoming NM QSO party.  My K3 does not currently have an internal KAT3 but I am considering purchasing one. My question *should* be simple.  If I disable the internal tuner (via menu), will the functionality I enjoy return? In other words will the K3 pass commands back to the KAT500 through the AUX bus? Or, will I have to remove the KAT3 internal tuner once the K3 returns to the shack?

Yes, I know that I could take the KAT500 out into the field as well,  but I want to pack light and make the setup process as simple as possible.

Thanks and 73

Hi Randy,
It will work great. You just have to put the KAT3 into bypass.
Cheers and 73,
