Jim's statement below about a KPA500 200W limit on 30M is incorrect. The
KPA500 puts out full power on all bands when driven at its normal levels
by the K3 or any other rig. Power is controlled by the drive level from
the rig, not by the amp.
Of course in the U.S. it is the responsibility of the operator to limit
drive to the amplifier so that they do not exceed the power limits on 30M.

What I'd like to be able to do is to disable the amp on some bands
(e.g. 30 m)
FWIW, I really appreciate being able to run the KPA500 on 30M to give
me 200W output when I'm chasing DX in a pileup, or trying to work
someone over a very long path. The KPA is programmed so that 200W is
all you get, and it only needs something like 7-8 watts drive to get
there.
