Wayne, Yes, I confirmed the USB port does function with my external DVD-ROM drive. I reinstalled my RT Systems software for my Icom IC-5100A. It worked without a hitch. Mark WU6R > On May 28, 2018, at 7:25 PM, Wayne Burdick wrote: > > Not so sure. For example, see: > > >

[Elecraft] KPA1500 Drive Power

2018-05-30 Thread K9MA
I'm using the K3 with the Elecraft interface cable.  I've noticed the the CW drive power required by mine varies considerably, both with temperature and SWR.  If I set the K3 output for a KPA1500 output of 1500 W output initially, the output will drop to perhaps 1100 W when the temperature

Rick, Was just thinking, I assume that the KPA1500 utility program is like the KPA500 Utility Program in that you can’t run in though LP Bridge. The KPA500 Remote program works fine with LP Bridge. I will still be able to remote the KPA1500 right away to the basement till the KPA1500 Remote
