Hello, Jack:
Mine doesn't work that way at all. On s/n 108 with firmware
1.18, if I have PWR selected and tap HV, I see the HV on the
display. If I tap HV again, it then displays the band that I
am on, not the PWR. If I tap the HV button, the HV is
displayed. If I then tap the CURRENT button, the current
will be displayed. If I again tap the CURRENT button, the
display shows the band info, not the HV.

Tapping a button on the KPA500 causes the parameter associated with that button
to be displayed. Try tapping the HV button, you will see the voltage displayed
on the LCD. Tap HV again and you get the previous parameter displayed. Thus
tapping a band button causes the band to be displayed. To illustrate why this
is important, try the following: tap the HV button. The HV will be displayed.
Next tap the CURRENT button. The LCD will change to current. Now tap the
Current button again. The LCD will change to HV, not to the band. At this point
the only way to get to the band is to tap a band button.
Thus this is actually the correct behavior. How would you have it behave
differently? In other words, what would you change to get the behavior you
would like?
Note that when changing the band from the transceiver the LCD will momentarily
display the new band, then will go back to whatever parameter you have selected.

I like to have the KPA500 display set to constantly show the PWR output.
I just noticed that when I swtich bands from my K3, the KPA500 display
stays set to display PWR output, but when I switch bands on the KPA500, the
display always goes back to display the band. Then I always have to press
PWR again to display the PWR output.
Is there any way to keep the KPA500 display "stuck" on PWR output when
changing bands directly from the KPA500 keypad?
