I was unable to try Jack’s suggestion of disconnecting the AUXIO cable - doing so made the KPA5000 not able to go into Operate mode. So, I wanted to do the other option he mentioned - changing the “radio” setting of the KPA to Serial or Analog. Unfortunately, I have no idea where that setting is. It isn’t in my version of the KPA Utility: V1.19.9.6. I sent Jack an email about it but he’s evidently off-line. Anyidea where that setting might be found?
My KPA shows the correct band on its display. The failure ONLY happens with the K3 powered off. When it is powered up and set to the correct band, the audio level in the IC-705 does not change when switching the amp from operate to standby.
