You do have to manually retune the transceiver. However, if you have all the Elecraft cabling in place according to Elecraft's instructions, the KAT500 and KPA500 should follow you. If you're QSYing in the same band, you shouldn't have issues, anyway. There woudn't be anything to change on the tuner or amp. You may get a short retune cycle if necessary, to match the antenna to the different band segment, but that should be it.
Hope this helps. 73, -- Ian Ian Kahn, KM4IK Roswell, GA EM74ua [email protected] K3 #281, P3 #688, KPA500 #1468 HRD v5.x/6.0 Test Team -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bill W2BLC Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2013 6:21 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] K3 - operation with the KPA500 and KAT500 Am I correct that the K3, KAT500, and KPA500 operates seemlessly when operating SSB and you QSY? Specifically, is any operator intervention (button pushing or tuning) need for QSY from the upper part of the band to the lower part of the band (ie: 3975 QSK to 3655). Can I just pick the mic and talk? Or, is some manual action required for the change?
