Wayne:
Can you provide a bit more detail on the "amp's antenna and ATU
switches?" What is your design currently capable of directly
controlling, e.g. sink/source, number of output lines, do they need more
decoding, etc.
thanks

Gerald,
SO2R done correctly requires extensive path shielding, switching components,
and control circuitry. Adding these would increase the size and cost of the
KPA1500 for all customers, while only a small percentage would make use of
them. So we feel that an external controller providing SO2R or other
specialized switching would be more appropriate.
KPA1500 firmware will be updated to fully support such products as we identify
them. We oversized the microcontroller memory by a factor of about 8 to allow
for such expansion. In addition to SO2R, there may be other gear such as
antenna switches that we can directly control from the amp’s antenna and ATU
switches, and status can be shown on the 32-character LCD.

Hi Gang:
Looking for some info. From the PDF and pictures it looks like this
amp will NOT do SO2R. Is that correct?
