I really like that idea. I never quite trust the lower power setting of the K3 when the amplifier is put on-line and always manually check it to be sure it is where I hope it is. It would be *much* better for the K3 to display the new power setting instead of those unnecessary 'KPA ... ' messages just as Fred suggested.
Don K7FJ ---- snip ---- CHANGE: Replace both messages with one that tells me what the K3 power will be when I next tap the paddle [or talk]. I've got the two power levels for each band set, and most of the time it works. Occasionally, after adjusting the high power antenna tuner with just the K3 in TUNE [5W], going to OPER leaves the power at 5W. Once, it went to 100W which faults off the KPA500 instantly, of course. Occasionally, the K3 stays at low power when I go to STBY. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2012 Cal QSO Party 6-7 Oct 2012 - www.cqp.org ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
