[Elecraft] K4 to KPA500?
I see an app note about connecting the K3 to to a KPA500/KAT500. As I prepare for my K4, is there any difference in the interconnections? 73, doug __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

No difference between using the K3 and K4. I use the same interconnection cable that I used for the K3. The K4 shows the power level against the power control knob as appropriate when you go from standby to operate. Power setting/control with the K4 and KPA500 is well controlled. 73 Dave K4D #286 KPA500 -- Sent from my iPhone SE __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

Bob There has been a thread on the K4 groups.io on this subject. There is much more info concerning the K4 on there. While mine works correctly, some don’t. I think a pin needs cutting off, you might check with a breakout box. 73 Dave G4AON On Tue, 22 Feb 2022 at 14:53, Robert Sands wrote: > My old cable, used with K3 and KPA500 works fine with K4 to KPA 1500 > except the K4 receive is shut down when 1500 in off, regardless of cable or > use of interruptor.

My old cable, used with K3 and KPA500 works fine with K4 to KPA 1500 except the K4 receive is shut down when 1500 in off, regardless of cable or use of interruptor. Ideas? Happens Only on 40 and 75, not 20. No receive until 1500 is on. I also tried the new cable. Bob K7VO On Tue, Feb 22, 2022, 5:27 AM Dave wrote: > No difference between using the K3 and K4.

Re: [Elecraft] K4 to KPA500?
Which antenna port on the KPA1500 are you using? Port 2 is disconnected at power off. That's one small nit with the amp, the antenna switch and tuner are on the same power source as the amp; all or nothing. It takes getting used to, after being familiar with the KPA500/KAT500 combo. 73, Rick NK7I On 2/22/2022 7:13 AM, Dave wrote: Bob There has been a thread on the K4 groups.io on this subject.
