Lyn,
You can try restarting the utility; sometimes if you push the front
buttons (power on/off, standby), the app gets out of sync for the KPA500.

and it would require constant polling ... which they cannot do.
Once you turn it OFF with the front panel switch, it needs to be turned on the
same way. After that, yes the utility is fully functional.

Take another look. You should be able to power on/off the KPA500 using the
front power button as well as through the KPA Utility. The Utility does a great
job of detecting the KPA500’s current data rate whether it is on or off (the
two rates may be different) and will communicate at the proper rate to power
the amplifier on or off using the ON/OFF button in the Operate panel.
Turning the back panel switch to the OFF position will, of course, disable the
ability to power on the amplifier using wither the KPA Utility or the front
panel pushbutton.

I meant to follow up on this sooner, but … so here’s what I found with the
KPA500 and KPA Utility Rev 1.13.7.16. First, the KPA500 rear power switch
must, of course, remain in the ON position at all times.
Once the KPA500 has been powered on with the Front panel switch (and
communications is set up properly between the computer and the KPA500), in
order to have ON/OFF control from the utility app, the KPA500 must never be
turned OFF from the front panel switch.
It’s OK to use the other front panel controls (including STANDBY/OPERATE), just
not the ON/OFF power button.

If you're running Windows, yes I know how to do that. But keep in mind that
the KPA Utility will not connect to the KPA500 unless the amp is first powered
on.
To have the programs start on boot, just drag them into the Windows "Startup"
folder (I am on Windows 7).
In Windows 10, search "Startup Apps."

Can these remote software's be in host mode on startup? I run a remote
and would like to have them connect to the hardware and be in host mode
on boot of the computer. Right now I just log on remotely and start
each one as needed.
Thanks,
