I’ve not seen this being discussed on this list, so perhaps somebody with
knowledge could help the OP out.

Happy Christmas

Gareth,

Elecraft has developed cables for the Icom, Yaesu, Kenwood, and Flex
transceivers that make the KPA500/KAT500 Power combo "Play Well With
Others".

I don't know the specifics of the cables, but I do know they exist.

The KAT500 manual has pinout information for cables to use with the Icom
AH-4 interface.  Download the manual and look at pages 8 and 9 if you
wish to build your own cables.

73 and Merry Christmas,
Don W3FPR

Hi Gareth,

Here are a couple of documents showing how to set up the KPA and KAT and how the KAT works.

http://www.ke7x.com/home/k-line-introduction-and-set-up-guide


Also, "The KPA500 and KAT500" (the K-Line book) has more information on interfacing Icom radios but the basic band switching is pretty simple to set up.  This KE7X books if available in PDF from www.lulu.com<http://www.lulu.com>.  For more information see www.ke7x.com<http://www.ke7x.com>.


Cheers and 73,

Fred KE7X
