I'd like to see a K3 FW feature change. I'll back off if anyone believes it's a bad idea.
CURRENT: Turning on the KPA500 scrolls a message in VFO B that I've just turned the KPA500 on. Actually, I knew that and didn't need the message. Mine is set to come up in STBY [also when I change bands]. When I go to OPER, another message scrolls in VFO B telling me that I just did that. I also knew that and didn't need the message. CHANGE: Replace both messages with one that tells me what the K3 power will be when I next tap the paddle [or talk]. I've got the two power levels for each band set, and most of the time it works. Occasionally, after adjusting the high power antenna tuner with just the K3 in TUNE [5W], going to OPER leaves the power at 5W. Once, it went to 100W which faults off the KPA500 instantly, of course. Occasionally, the K3 stays at low power when I go to STBY. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2012 Cal QSO Party 6-7 Oct 2012 - www.cqp.org ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
