KPA500 cable

[k6dgw]

I see a lot of chatter about a cable for the KPA500.  I'll have mine on
my K3, I don't have a P3 or any other band decoders and the like.  Do I
need to modify my order to include a cable?

Probably a good idea, unless you're going to fabricate your own. The
KPA500 manual describes what the cable is used for with the K3 (like
the band change buttons, band tracking (without RF sensing) and fault
detection) - it's not essential, but you are going to want to have it.
I think I'm going to build my own, using CAT5...

  I just sent an email to [hidden email], and got a reply from the
beautiful and ever present Lisa that she had added it to my order.  I
love doing business with these folks!!  I'll have their cable, DB-xx's
are getting a little small for my eyes.
