I read this is a remote tuner? Thus the question?

Hi Jay,
Why would you need the HF AUTO ("My question is this. Is there an option with
the KPA1500 that I don't have to reach over and keep hitting stand-by on the
amplifier every time I need to touch up the HF-Auto")? The KPA1500 has a
built-in tuner. Is there a reason you do not want to use it?
Mark, WB9CIF

Subject: [Elecraft] KPA1500 questions...
Group good evening. I have a certain style of operation and a question about
the KPA1500 I would like to ask in the group. My normal operation is the K3S
into a Palstar HF Auto that tunes several antennas on my property.
I have had a lot of amplifiers in the past, from solid state to tube amps.
Currently I'm running a OMpower 2000+ amplifier. My normal process is that I
have 2 memories set on the K-pod, one is that it puts the radio into tune mode
at 8 watts out. This 8w output tunes the HF auto with low power until it gets a
good match which is very quick. During this 8w tune I have the amplifier in
stand-by mode, and all set to tune it next. After the 8w tune, I have the same
button set up to "HOLD" the button for a 30w tune in which then I tune the
amplifier which is pretty much ready to go off of a list that I compiled, just
basically a touch up is all that is needed. The radio stays at 30w after that
tune and I'm ready to go... My question is this. Is there an option with the
KPA1500 that I don't have to reach over and keep hitting stand-by on the
amplifier every time I need to touch up the HF-Auto, can I set up a K-pod
button to do this, or a button on the K3S? So basically does the K3S talk to
the buttons on the KPA1500 so that I could create a stand-by butto
n on the K-pod...I'm right on the fence on a purchase and this feature would
really be of importance to me...
