Keith - I do not believe that is the problem. My K3 "tells" the KAT500 what frequency it is on as soon as I change frequency on the K3 (or the KPA500). If not cabled appropriately, then, of course the KAT500 needs a bit of RF to know what frequency it is on.
The problem is that for some users, even after the KAT500 knows what frequency the K3 is on, and has a match, it sometimes thinks the frequency has changed, and tries to find a new solution. At lease that is the way I understand the problem as reported by those who actually have it. I do consider myself fortunate to not see that issue here, but as someone else has speculated, that may be due to the fact that I don't operate SSB. When I first started using the KAT500 I did not have all the cabling optimized for my setup... I got one more cable, connected it and all now seems to be perfect. 73 de Dave - K9FN On Tue, Jan 28, 2014 at 9:37 AM, XE3/K5ENS <nela...@yahoo.com> wrote: > The "solution" is for the K3 to just tell the KAT500 what frequency it is > on. > We have all this Elecraft equipment connected together but a lack of > "communication" between them is the problem. > > Keith > > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-to-KAT500-tp7583270p7583398.html > Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > ______________________________________________________________ > 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 > ______________________________________________________________ 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
