Re Mike for KX3

But Mouser _does_ have the plug, from which you can build your own adapter,
or attach it to an existing microphone.

see p/n 171-6435-EX

In the course of checking the physical sizes of the "K Line", I see that
the W2 is the same height as the KAT500 and the same width (or close) as
the P3, which leads to the following question.

Is the W2 useful with the KPA500/KAT500 combination or would it be
redundant?

73, doug

who really needs to reorganize the shack.

If you're going to run the KPA500 all the time, it may be redundant,
but if you sometimes run barefoot, the meter in the KPA500 may not be
very useful, as it has a fixed range. I suppose it may be technically
feasible for it to have a second range for barefoot operation (i.e.
when it's in standby mode), where the green LEDs could represent
0-100W, orange 100-120W, and red above that... but that'd take (at
least) some KPA500 firmware development.

Even if you are running barefoot (amp in standby) the LCD window on the KPA500 is functional and will give you a numeric power out or SWR if you choose.  No need for the LED's.  

I'll be looking to sell my Autek WM-1 SWR meter at Dayton this year as I feel it is redundant now.
