Re: [Flexradio] Oops
Gary, Once you get the Flex fixed and successfully integrate the Heros pre-selector to the Flex, I would enjoy hearing how well the pre-selector worked with the Flex and was it worth the time and the money. 73 de Robert KB6QXM From: Gary Keating To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Sent: Friday, December 14, 2012 2:59 PM Subject: [Flexradio] Oops Hi, I was trying to get a Heros pre-selector working on Flexwire and something went wrong. Now the only thing that runs is the fan in the Flex5000A. Any ideas what blew and if I can get at it to fix it? I sent a service request ticket but have not heard anything yet.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex-5000 band change/control of KPA-500/KAT-500
I use DDUtil to control the KPA-500 with a standard RS-232 serial cable from the computer to the PC port on the KPA-500. Works flawlessly. I have a SteppIR antenna which is also controlled via DDUtil and don't need a tuner so I'm not sure how that would fit in the mix. 73, Rich - W3ZJ Randy Diddel wrote: Hello Flexers, I am a first time, brand new owner of a Flex 5000A.

Re: [Flexradio] Flex-5000 band change/control of KPA-500/KAT-500
Randy The simplest setup is to run your RF connections Flex to KPA to KAT to antenna. Run the PTT cable from the Flex to the KAT and from the KAT to the KPA (per KAT500 manual) Both units will auto band switch . To use the KAT select your antenna (1,2,3) and select Mode Auto To use the Amp, just set it to Oper. Make sure your Flex set for 30 watts output. In order to put the KAT500 under computer control, you can use the USB cable supplied with the KAT and the KAT utility downloaded from http://www.elecraft.com/KAT500/kat500_software.htm In to put the KPA under computer control you'll need either a physical serial port or a USB serial adapter and a straight through (not null modem) serial cable. Elecraft has a KPA-500 Utility at http://www.elecraft.com/KPA500/kpa500_software.htm or the preferred method is to use DDUtil which supports the KPA500 and allows you to specify the correct Flex Drive settings for each band when you are using the KPA-5000 No other cabling is required. This is the Reader's digest condensed version, let me know if you have any questions.
