In the CONFIG setting on K3 go to PWR SET and set it to PEr bAnd. Then
make sure you adjust your power level on the K3 with the KPA1500 in STBY
and then adjust again with the KPA1500 in OPER. Do this for each band,
then the K3 will automatically switch power levels based on the status
of the KPA1500.

Don, What command do you use for the KPA1500 power switching. Call me lazy
for asking. I use my KPOD for band changes, mode changes and tuning, fine,
coarse etc. Oh, I also use for Diversity, plus a switch to normalize
operation, for when I screw up.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KPOD
I bought two KPODs right away Ed. I’m a DXer and have always enjoyed busting
pileups … especially the big ones that take up lots of bandwidth. IMHO the K3
VFO B knob has always been rather klunky …. Doesn’t spin easily…. Small, etc… so
has always been awkward to use it while searching through a large split pileup
while trying to find the station the DX is calling….. so I use the KPOD to tune
VFO B most of the time…. And it works great …. The P3 and Subreceiver are also
really great tools for the big pileups. I use the programmable KPOD buttons a
lot …. A few for sending recorded DVR messages (both CW and SSB) …. And others for
switching A/B, A>B, Split +2, Split +5, Split/Unsplit, Subreceiver on/off ….
And switching power between 100W and 30W (for driving the amp) …. Now that I have
a KPA1500 which can do the drive power switching for me when I go between operate
and standby there’s no need for the power switching anymore …
I love my KPODs
