Hello,
I have a new KPA500 now connected directly to my K3 via the optional KPAAux
cable purchased through Elecraft. I am attempting to set up the per band power
settings, and have the Config: power settings at "per band". I am running the
latest FW releases on both the KPA and the K3. According to the FW release
notes
MCU 4.36 / DSP 2.73, 4-20-2011
* KPA500-TO-K3 BAND CHANGE, FAULT/STATUS, and POWER
CONTROL: If the KPA500 is connected to the K3 via the ACC cable
(including auxBus and band data lines), the following new features
will be available:
(1) the amp's band switches can change the K3's band Not functioning
(2) amp faults and operate/standby changes will be reported on
the K3 display Not functioning
(3) if CONFIG:PWR SET = PER-BAND, the K3 will provide two
separate sets of per-band power levels: one for use with the
KPA500, one for barefoot use (amp in standby). If the amp
power levels are in effect, an asterisk is added to the K3's
power control display (e.g. "30 W*"). This should eliminate the
need to adjust the K3's power control when changing bands
or switching the amp between operate and standby. Not functioning
This does not seem to be functioning on my K3. The "*" does not display on the
power control, and when I attempt to set per band settings and utilize the
standby and operate button on the KPA500, the power level functions at whatever
power output is set on the K3. Also, the amps faults are not being reported on
the K3, and the amps band switches do not change the K3's band!
Are there any additional menu settings that I am missing? Can anyone assist in
helping me get these valuable features operational?
Tnx
Len, K6LEN
