W2 Integration Question

Need some help to un-confuse me. My current configuration is as follows:
K3(&P3)-W2-KAT500. I¹m days away from ordering my last upgrade, a KPA500 &
the Aux Cable set. I know that the W2 may not be a necessity now with the
KPA500 built-in watt meter but I bought it, assembled it and it does balance
out the appearance of my K-Line. The current cabling diagrams on any of the
above components do not show the W2 in the loop. Anyone out there have a W2
in the K3-KPA500-KAT500 configuration and what is the correct cabling for
it? BTW, I¹m going to miss all those 2D fastener¹s and itty bitty washers!

Thanks,

Lee

Re: W2 Integration Question

I have and use the W2. It is fed by coax as follows:
K3-KPA500-KAT500-W2-Antenna. It works great giving me a closer
approximation of what the antenna looks like before it gets tuned by the
KAT500.

Hope this helps.

Re: W2 Integration Question

I have the W2 between the K3 and the KPA500. Its useful to monitor what the K3 is looking at and its power output and the KPA500 meter is showing its output power.
Cheers and 73,
