Re: [Elecraft] Seeking input on KPA1500 station configurations

My 2 cents. Drop the RS232 line totally and have only an IP / Lan connection. This will solve so many connectivity issues. With a PC client software, it will just find the amplifier. This is what other Amp vendors are now doing and it is litterly plug and play. The next K-radio should also be

[Elecraft] Seeking input on KPA1500 station configurations

Wayne/Eric, Maybe too late, I know, but I've been thinking about my ideal desk setup for HF/6m/2m and have come up with the following list of wants for the KPA1500 system: I'd like the KPA1500 power supply consumption to be less than 1W when the PA is "off". I'd like the power supply

Not sure if this has been suggested or not, but . . . . If you have plenty of room -- and you're not doing anything else(!), I think it would be interesting to have a PTT counter - a count of how many PTT closures during its lifetime. 73, Dan

Re: [Elecraft] Seeking input on KPA1500 station configurations

I originally ordered the 1kw tuner with the KPA 500 in mind.then the surprise announcement of the KPA 1500, and talk of flexibility of control options. Stock corner also has a 5kw tuner, but at 3200 Euros!! KV4TT- Mike __ Elecraft

Re: [Elecraft] Seeking input on KPA1500 station configurations

Wayne, Sorry for the delayed response. What seems to be missing from the KPA1500, compared to the Alpha 87A, is a keying OUTPUT on an RCA phono jack. If it's too late to add another jack to the KPA1500, perhaps the REM jack could be reprogrammed via firmware to do this function, instead of

Re: [Elecraft] Seeking input on KPA1500 station configurations

Hi Mike! I used to use an AH-4. Check the power handling capability of the unit. I think you'll find it's incapable of handling the KPA500, let alone the KPA1500. 73! Ken - K0PP On Jun 13, 2017 11:43, "Michael Zabel" wrote: > Hello group, > > This is my first post

Hello group, This is my first post here, but have been reading the mail for a while. I currently do not have any Elecraft gear, but have built a K2, and owned KX1 and KX3. I am considering upgrading my station in the near future and am interested in the control possibilities of the KPA 1500. I

The KPA1500 has very flexible I/O, and plenty of space for adding new control features in firmware. I/O ports include Ethernet, USB, RS-232, K3 Accessory connector (including Icom band voltages), AH-4, CI-V, keying input (PTT), ALC out, and remote power-on. In order to prioritize our efforts
