Group: I'm checking out a recently completed KPA500 (#234) running FW V1.11 with a K3/10 running FW Ver 4.36. The K3/100 with which it will eventually be used is otherwise tied up and I wanted to confirm the the per-band power control feature when used with the K3. (I'm using the AUX interface cable.)
It doesn't seem to work as described in the KPA500 Owner's Manual Rev B - see page 9 Item 4 under Transmitting. If I put the Amp in Standby and set the K3 for 5 W as a low power level and then turn the Amp to Operate and run the K3 up to a drive level of about 8 W to produce about 100 Watts from the KPA500, then when I turn the Amp back to Standby the power level is 8 W not 5W. Perhaps the per-band power control is dependent on using a K3/100 not a K3/10. Anyone else seeing the same thing? 73, Doug VE3MV ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
