I had similar questions. Use a cable with RCA jacks to connect the K3/K3S rear panel 12V DC OUT RCA connector to the KPA1500 REM RCA connector to wake it up. You'll still need something to change OPERATE/STANDBY on the KPA1500, but I just use the KPA1500 utility over Ethernet.
The power output on your K3/K3S will be different when you have the amp in OPERATE or STANDBY. On Tue, 21 Aug 2018, Peter W2IRT wrote:
Hi all, Just got my 1500 connected last night and so far so good. I do have two questions, however. First, is it possible to toggle standby and operate from the K3s, instead of using either the remote software or physically pressing the button on the amp? And second, I was under the impression that there was a way to have separate transmitter powers depending on whether the amp is inline or not. I normally like to run the full 100W from the K3s, but when I kick the amp in, I have to drop TX power to ~25 Watts. Another issue I have involves the feed path. I am using a remote antenna switch mounted at the tower. At the moment I have all my HF antennas connected through there, using the Antenna 1 port on the amp (previously on the K3s). Antenna 2 is for 6m only. I would like to route the 6m antenna from this switchbox as well, but the problem is the HF output is running through a low-pass filter. Are there low-pass filters that don't cut off until ~54 MHz? ---------------------------------------------------- Regards, Peter Dougherty ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
