Tom, The KPA500 reads the band data output of the K3.
If you change bands on the KPA500, it signals the K3 over the AUXBUS, and the KPA500 does not change bands immediately, it waits until the K3 band data outputs indicate the band it is to switch to. 73, Don W3FPR On 8/21/2011 9:05 PM, [email protected] wrote: > If it doesn't receive on the AUXBUS, why does it change bands when I use the > band button on the K3 to change bands? :-) > > 73, > Tom > Amateur Radio Operator N5GE > ARRL Lifetime Member > QCWA Lifetime Member > > > On Sun, 21 Aug 2011 21:42:10 +0000, iain macdonnell - N6ML<[email protected]> > wrote: > >> I agree that it's a good idea, but I wonder if it's feasible...
