Tom, Your suggestion works well, however, when the kat500 is 'programmed' a qsy in band or to another band does not require a Tx on CW. The kat500 will interrupt the key line on the kpa500 and the memorized 'bin' appropriate for the new frequency/band is selected automatically.
It took a few iteratiions of FW to get this done and it works as designed now. 73 On 25 September 2013 01:04, Tom <[email protected]> wrote: > > Bill, > > I'm a CW operator, but I believe you could try the method I use to > activate the tuner and amp before working phone on MARS frequencies. > > After you have tuned the tuner on your favorite frequencies (phone > and/or CW), perform the actions below when you QSY. > > 1.
