By the way, could someone please send me the url for the KPA500 beta firmware directory? 73, John, W2GW ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fred Jensen" <k6...@foothill.net> To: <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Saturday, August 13, 2011 1:31 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 Question re the K3s per band power control >I notice the same thing.
