KX3 with KAT500 and KPA500

WD6DBM
The KX3 will work fine with the KAT500 without disconnecting anything.  If you have set the tuning solutions previously with the K3 it will automatically select the antenna and solution--but not autotune.

To use the KPA500 with the KX3 you must disconnect the Elecraft cable carrying band data or it will not bandswitch.  I don'think this could be fixed in firmware but it would be really cool if it could.

I found it highly amusing to watch my KAT500 switching--and even autuning--with the fleet of boat anchors I used on straight key night.
