Hi Mike,
This seems to be a duplicate post (see

though I'm not sure if your questions were fully answered the first time.
First, to search the archives of this reflector, go to
Let me rephrase.
It needs frequency CAT data if you do not want to transmit into a high SWR or
wrong band filters, even for a few milliseconds.
I would rather have my station preset the amp to the proper band filters and
tuner L & C before transmitting ANY RF into it.
This way if I see

NO, it does not. See my previous post.

Actually, beginning with the tuner that goes with the K3 and their KPA
amps do NOT need band data -- they detect frequency with as little as a
35 wpm dit or a tap on the mic and
oppsss... my bad!
I saw KPA500 (not 1500). Sorry about that.
However, the cabling is the same. :)

Hi Mike
Actually the KPA1500 needs frequency tracking for the internal antenna tuner.

I keep reading what you wrote, but how can you tell the difference? The
Band data is the only thing that the KPA500 requires to operate. It really
doesn't care about the exact frequency.
If you change bands on the 6400 and the KPA500 tracks from 1 band to
another, then your installation
Are you using the KXUSB cable from the amp transceiver port to back of Flex USB?
Make sure you are in the transceiver port on amp and not AUX port.
On Flex USB cable setup make sure to enable Auto Report. Also select advanced
and set baud to 38400, 8, none, 1, and flow control none.

This is my first post. I am not sure if or where the search function is
located.
I am running a KPA-1500 and a FlexRadio 6400. The amplifier recognizes the
band that the Flex is tuned to but it doesn’t recognize the frequency. Any
help would be appreciated. I am not technically proficient
