KPA500,KAT500 DOES NOT RESPOND TO K3

[Kenneth Hale]

Received my new KOA500 AND KAT500 but have not been able to get either one
to respond to the K3.  The K3 was working great as a barefoot radio.  Have
tried to connect the system in about 5 different configurations as shown in
the manuals that came with the amp and tuner. No response from the tuner or
amp.  Could some menu setting in the K3 be stopping the use of the KPA 500
and KAT500?  Very confused at this point.

Are you trying to hook everything up at once for the first time?

If so, I would suggest first getting the KPA500 to work with the K3 without using the KAT500 and once you have done that configure in the KAT500.

I followed the configuration descriptions in hooking up my K-line but I don't remember having to change any configurations (menu stuff) to support the KPA500 or the KAT500.  But then, maybe I have forgotten.

Could you be more specific as to what is and is not working?  I have a k3
and a KPA 500 but not a KAT 500.  The amplifier works perfectly with my K-3,
using the AUX cable.  I did have a problem at first which was entirely due
to my own stupidity.  The amplifier was factory assembled and I did not
realize that it was shipped without fuses installed.  Consequently when I
first attempted to use it, it was deader than a doornail!  After I finally
remedied that problem everything worked perfectly.  I assume your amplifier
turns on but does not do anything when attached to the k3 but perhaps you
could be a bit more specific about the problem.
