I found my KPA1500 does not have RF passthrough in standby unless the radio
provides amp keying. Is this by design and any way to disable this “feature”?
I use a program called DDUtil which limits power out per band to prevent
accidental overdrive of the amp. When DDUtil is in standby it disable
Hey Dave
I had this exact thing happen on the 6300, and what it was was that I had
T'd off the logic on the PTT lead from TX1 to another T/R relay for a
receiving antenna.
I solved the Amp issue by removing the 2nd device, replacing the 6300 with

Hi Dave,
When in standby mode the KPA1500 RF deck is bypassed by a relay and absolutely
passes driver power from input to antenna without any amp keying required. If

Thanks Eric

One other thought I will test as soon as I get home in a few,
Does the 1500 internal meter work when in standby and no keying line from
radio? I was using the amp metering and not external to check pass thru.
