Bob,
I'm curious to know how well that feature works. Let's say your KPA500 is
STBY, your K3 is set to 100 W out, and you are transmitting in a digital mode.

Andy;
It works very well. The op has to set the K3 so that the power is controller
per-band. When the KPA is switched to OPmode, it sends a message to the K3. The
K3 then switches to the amplifier selection for power, which the op has et

Andy et al:
With the station configured as shown in the KAT500 manual, page 5 Figure

amp is in STBY the K3S is delivering the power as set by the PWR
control. Normally 100 watts. When the KPA500 is then switched to

Hi,
it looks like they’re going after the KX3...
If it will be as bad as 7300 then we can stay calm and keep our KX3 in
peace. hi
It is too big for backpacking btw...

...btw they are talking about 10W output several times but it is giving only
5W output if it is used with internal battery pack BP-272, 10W ouptu is
available only with external 13.8V PSU...:)

Jack,

This feature works VERY well, with the occasional hiccup that the power
isn't lowered, causing a fault (rare, likely not enough time for the
signals to pass between the boxes).
I *DO* suggest that you also set up the amp input/output for *ALL*
bands, in particular the bands where the power lim
Close but no.
With the amp in standby, the power out up to 100 W is determined by the
power setting (knob) on the K3.
With the amp in operate, the (reduced drive) power is determined by the
power setting on the K3; best if the 'Set by band' feature is used (the

Maybe to the “Not quite as good as…” category. The issue is timing. Your code
has to poll to determine the KPA op state, then start all the transitions which
will result in the PTT line being negated. There are a lot of delays involved
here.
With the K3/KPA, the button press causes the KPA to s

No, not true. There is no timing issue with my implementation since the key

Today the accessory connector between the K3s and KPA1500 provides information
to let the K3s know the KPA1500 is present and operating as well as
bidirectional information about which band is selected and frequency
information as well to tune the KAT in the KPA1500.
Since I have the key line
Well you know what happened with the KPA1500, nothing said until it was
shown. And you know what was said about the K4, nothing said or shown
until Hamvention. They are very good at keeping things under wraps.
I figure that ICOM has shown their hand of cards while Eric and Wayne
