FWIW: I use the heavy cable between the K3 AUX and KPA500 DB15 and
nothing else. It always makes RF. I haven't shut the back panel power
switch off since I first turned it on, however.

Do you have the KEY Cable and the KPA3AUX cable BOTH connected between your
K3 and KPA500? Jeoff, G3UCK is using the KPA3AUX cable only. As I
understand it, on occasion he is still having no KPA500 RF until power is
recycled. I am trying to find out if eliminating the KEY Cable
I think I found the culprit thanks to the mention of "no key cable connected
when using the KPA-K3 AUX cable." (I already checked the TX:INH" item and
it was OFF)
I had my key cable connected to both the K3 and KPA despite also having the
AUX cable between the two.
I had left it connected ever si
I don't have a KPA500, however, I did have an occasional problem with
the K3 on power up. If I pressed the K3 power switch too quickly after
switching on the PSU (switch mode) sometimes the K3 would lock up part
powered. If I delay pressing the power switch for 3-4 seconds all is
OK. Possibl
Hi Jack,
Thanks for the info, but TX INH was also off in my K3 as well. Something
else appears to be causing this. Thanks again. Roy W4WFB

Thanks for the suggestion Jack but TX INH is set to OFF here.
No doubt the solution will be simple but I haven't found it yet.

Guys;
This problem is typically caused by the K3's TX INH input being enabled. Be
sure that the Config:TX INH menu setting is set to OFF.
I emphasize, this is a K3 setting, not KPA500.

What I do is switch back and forth between a couple of bands with the band

This came up a while back but I haven't seen any answers yet.
When going into "operate" there is no power output, no lights (asterisk OK).
Switching the power button off then on again and placing it into
"operate," it works fine..Happens every time.
Any clues on how to fix this will be grateful
