Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 feature added to KPA500
Marvin; As others have noted, we have had this feature in the KPA500 since it originally shipped long ago. Take a look at the KPA500 manual’s section on Transmitting. The description on Page 9 of the RevC-2 manual, item 4 tells you how to set this up. Note that you must be using the AUXIO cable between the KPA500 and the K3/K3S, and in the KPA500 menu, the RADIO parameter must be set to K3. Enjoy your KPA500!

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 feature added to KPA500
It’s already there, you just have to set the drive levels one time. When you adjust power, the * in the display tells you that you are adjusting the level when the KPA is in operate mode. If you put the KPA in standby you’ll notice that the * goes away and the K3 will revert to the power level you set with the amp off/in stby. If you have ‘PWR SET’ to PER BAND it will remember the drive level on each band. This assumes you have the amp connected to the K3 with the appropriate cable that passes the AuxBus messages.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 feature added to KPA500
I do this now. The memory saved values for power level are both for use with the KPA500 off (standby) and on (off standby). So, I have two saved memory values for power level for the K3 for each condition (amp on, amp off). 73, phil, K7PEH P.S. besides, I would hate to have the KPA500 reset my power level just because it is on. I may not always want the same drive with the amp. > On Apr 21, 2017, at 4:45 PM, Marvin Wheeler wrote: > > > > Somewhere reading the information about the new KPA1500 I read that if the > new amp was powered on it would cause the K3/K3S to automatically lower to > drive the amp.
