I wasn't at Dayton, but you can see the connectors here:
http://www.elecraft.com/KAT500/kat500rear_visalia.jpgClearly the "ACC" connection "loops through" the KAT500 to get the
KPA500. This makes sense, as it would allow the tuner to interrupt the
keying line to the amp during tuning, etc.
This part is *speculation* on my part; I imagine that the typical
configuration will be a straight-through DE-15 (as supplied in the
KPAK3AUX kit) between the K3 and KAT500, and another (identical cable)
between the KAT500 and KPA500
