Check that -- one small error in prior post. The Twins configuration includes the KPA100, not the 500. Can't type. Or can't think. One or the other.

Having used the KPA1500 long enough to be confident that mine has no obvious bugs, I am trying to decide whether to keep my KPA500 / KAT500 or put it up for sale.
One possibility would be to use the 500s with a K2. I have a K2 with the integral KPA100, and two without. The K2/100 has an RCA jack for the amp keying line which should make things easy - just connect one end to the KPA100 and the other to the KPA500, yes?
Using a K2 alone as driver for the KPA500 is the question. There must be an amplifier keying line somewhere in the K2 circuitry, since it can key a KPA500 [should have read KPA100] in the two-box "twins" configuration; but there is no mechanical output for it. Anyone done this who can help with ideas?
What kind of output from the KPA500 is possible with a barefoot K2 driving it? Anything else I should know before trying this out?
The band data is not a problem in either case, since the KPA500 has a one-dit sensing circuit which will be adequate. (It also has band selection buttons, of course.)
Tnx, as always, for any advice,
Ted, KN1CBR
