So, is this normal behavior? I wasn't expecting any kind of comms between the K3 and the KPA500 that affects the STBY/OPER switching. It does seem that a power on/off cycle for the KPA500 is required to enable that switch.
Is this designed to work this way or is this a flaw in the design or maybe a missing mini-feature of configuring two different transceivers with the KPA500. I admit to not scouring all of the documentation yet on the expected functionality of the STBY/OPER switch. 73, phil, K7PEH On Apr 22, 2014, at 4:14 PM, Don Wilhelm <w3...@embarqmail.com> wrote: > Phil, > > Let me get this straight - the KPA500 is communicating with the K3, then you > switch to the KX3 and the KPA500 does not talk with the KX3. > > If that is what is happening, I would expect that to be the case.
