Hi, Gerard,
Setting up the KAT500 without a KPA amp is, indeed, quite workable.
Some details on this are found on Page-11 of the KAT500 downloadable
manual, found at the link below.
That page, and others, reflect the units versatility, its offering of
three front-panel controlled SO-239 Output jacks, optional computer
control, connectivity to other brand transceivers and other brand
amplifiers, and its capability of handling higher power, up to 1,000
Watts. Also suggested for reading is the information on Page-3 in the
manual, regarding cabling.
As always, Elecraft customer service support will be there for you with
answers and suggestions, even before ownership of the unit, and should
you ever need them.
Good DX,
. Mark
