YES, when switching the KPA1500 between OPER and STBY, the K3 displays the messages "KPA500 OPERATE" and "KPA500 STANDBY", depending.
YES, the K3 is set CONFIG: POWER SET is Per Band. YES, when in STBY on the KPA1500, I set the "no amp" power to 100 watts, and when in OPER, I set drive level per band; usually less than 30 watts, which gets close to the legal limit. Still the same results as described below. 73 de Bruce, N7TY Yuma, AZ <http://www.qsl.net/n7ty> www.qsl.net/n7ty From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: October 18, 2020 06:32 To: '[email protected]' <[email protected]> Subject: KPA1500 / K3 Mystery I made a recent change to the "Band Change-> STBY" setting on the KPA1500, changing from NO to YES. I did this to ensure the AMP doesn't have any wild SWR or PWR spikes before the ATU has a chance to "remember" it's setting after a band change. Issue: When switching the AMP from OPER to STBY, the K3 is supposed to switch from the drive power setting (~25 watts) in OPER, to 100 watts in STBY, it does not, it remains at the drive power setting. I am 99% sure I have all the cabling and settings set correctly in the K3 and KPA1500. I went through and manually reset the power settings on each band to let the K3 and KPA1500 "re-learn" the change made, however, still no joy. Jim, W6YA, and I have been going back and forth, however neither of us have had any luck. Do you KPA1500/K3 owners out there have any ideas or suggestions? 73 de Bruce, N7TY Yuma, AZ www.qsl.net/n7ty <http://www.qsl.net/n7ty> ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
