What wrong with the system already in place. We asvopetators need to shoulder
some responsibility in the operation of our radios.

Doubtful. Wayne is awfully busy on other projects.
We would not want to have fixed-in-firmware drive limits - KPA500s vary in
their needed drive level. Some need more power than others for drive. For
example my older KPA500 (actually the first one) needs 35 to 40 watts to drive
it to 500 watts,
All:
How difficult would it be to implement a power limit option through
firmware to prevent exceeding per-band drive levels when the amp is on?
A similar option is currently available on the K3S for transverter power
limits so it seems possible.

Hi all,
We've had request for suggestions about where to purchase Li-ion battery cells,
packs and chargers in Australia. Anyone know of a reputable supplier?
Thanks,

"Once the correct power value is set for the amp in OPER mode and for the

correct... then changing it would seem to make it no longer correct. This

No, I find the Utility doesn't do that.
However, HRD/DM780 and FLDIGI will do that. Just put the radio in TEST
mode and send away.

If one sets the power correct with the amp in OPER mode, there is no reason to
make further power adjustments. The system is just doing as you have
instructed it to do.
When the amp is in STBY the power reverts to that for barefoot normally 100
watts or the last value set for that mode.

Do you set the proper drive level per band while KPA500 is in OPER mode?
How do you power off your K3S?
When POWER button is pushed for power-off, K3S saves the setting in internal
non-volatile memory. Otherwise, any setting changes you made after powered on
will be discarded.

Thanks to all who answered my quest about this “shut down” issue.
All answers seem to concentrate on power supply/connection issues.
Now I have a area to troubleshoot in depth.
Thanks for the help.

I purchased the AUX cable for the K3S / KPA500 to use the per-band power
