Andy,
You'll find the band outputs on the KPA500 aux connector (BAND0-3) are
quite reliable and fast when it comes to detecting band change outputs.
They appear to be flipped/set quite early in the band change
sequence/exchange between the K3 and amp, certainly before RF is applied
(yay !). At l

The AUXBUS protocol is Elecraft proprietary and is not published.
It is the single wire communications between the K3 and its options,
both internal and external.
It DOES seem reasonable to publish at least an electrical transmission

You would need to sign a non-disclosure agreement for anything beyond
the logic level (TTL) and pinout information. I've never heard of one
being given out for this purpose.

I agree with Jim here. I am thinking of getting a KPA1500 to
replace my Expert 1.3K. (I got the 1.3K after my wife won a
$1000 off prize at the Top Band Dinner. I thought the 1.3K would
have good resale value given its use on DXpeditions.)
The logical place for the amp is in my garage, near th
Hi Steve;
Your FPF, Front Panel Flash, is corrupt.
Confirm by going to Config Menu "XV1 ON", then tap 1 thru 9 and you will
probably see a transverter (usually 9) set to "YES" when you have none.
Set all to "no" (unless you have one).
Then RE-load just the FPF with the K3 Utility.

Hi Martin;
No need to remove the KPA3 to test the LPA, just set KPA3 to "not inSt"
in the config menu.
Then you can go to 12W and go thru the bands and see how it does.
Also you can run the 5W TX gain cal using the K3 Utility (or TUNE at
exactly 5.0W on all bands) to see what happens. The resul

That sounds cool. Can you post your Macro strings please? That would
save me some time.
Thanks! Keith WE6R

I believe Ron's K2 has been sold.
The buyer is sending a check direct to the widow.
I will ship it when she confirms that the check was received.

I downloaded the utility and SWR displayed stayed the same, 1.1:1 while the
display on the KPA1500 peaked at 2 to 1, one red light. This occurs around
60C. No problem until then.

Hi All,
I have an acquaintance, K8ZH - Rick, who is getting into remote operation.
He has the RemoteRig units, but is currently looking for a K3/0 for the
control station.
If anyone has a spare or unused K3/0 collecting dust, please let me know,
so I can pass the information on to him.

Mike,
I have never had my hands on the innards of the KPA1500, so I can't
offer much except for you to email supp...@elecraft.com.

Don, I just read your article to see what the hubbub was about with AGC. I
live in a rural area in the woods so noise is really not a problem.
I was taught a long time ago to keep the AGC off for weak signal reception and
it stuck with me. Those were the S line days. And in your
