Re: [Elecraft] Upper limits of KPA500?

I use my KPA 500 in SSB and CW ops. Much of it as net control on traffic nets and passing traffic. A little pile up breaking during DXing and some hunt and pounce contesting.Temps usually hover around 50c with some trips to mid to upper 50s.I don't remember seeing it hit 60c.In almost four years

While I was taking the Advanced written test the phone in the room rang. The test administrator picked it up, listened a bit. Then a look of disgust appeared on his face. Then he lowered the phone, looked around the room and asked "HAS ANYBODY SEEN A BASH BOOK HERE?"  We all grinned back at him

I noticed this issue exists when using the memory channels as well. My solution was to remove the Kenwood cable, just hook up the ptt line and let the KAT/KPA 500s sense the frequency and make the adjustments on the fly.They are really, really quickMike KC8WHSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy
