Thanks for the description.
>For a K-line, you'll want a 15-pin cable from K3 (after the Y) to the KAT500
>and another from the KAT500 to the KPA500. The KAT500 interrupts the KPA500
>key line in that cable during tune, and both the KAT500 and KPA500 observe
>the K3's BAND0 thru BAND3 lines.

>If you aren't using a K3, then the KAT500, like the KPA500, can sense band
>changes by counting the Tx frequency.

>But it's very convenient to band switch the K3 and have the ATU and amp
>follow without requiring a transmission. The ATU switches to the last-used
>antenna on band switch (or to a fixed antenna you configure). It's nice not
>to have to send a "dit" to make that antenna switch happen.

>The manual is in progress.
