Hi Andy: Thanks for the suggestion. Using the computer would let me control the KAT500 and KPA500 for sure, but what I am looking for is seamless band tracking and antenna output tracking between the rig (in this case KX3 and KXPA100) and the [KAT500/KPA500] block.
If I can interface the [KX3/KXPA100] combo to the antenna/tuner, then there would be full, seamless integration as there is with the K3. That’s the goal. 73, Kevin VE7ZD > On Aug 31, 2019, at 10:21 AM, Andy Durbin <[email protected]> wrote: > > "where the second block [KAT500/KPA500] utilize essentially BCD for band data > and an “AUXBUS” signal that I have not yet found out much about." > > You can fully control the KAT500 and KPA500 using their serial interfaces > without needing AUXBUS and without using the 4 discrete band interface. > I'm doing exactly that with my Kenwood TS-590/KAT500/KPA500 controller. > > Start by reading KAT500 Serial Command Reference.pdf and KPA500 Programmers > Ref.pdf. > > I have no knowledge of what data is available from the KX3/KXPA100 but if > you need help with KAT500/KPA500 control I'll be happy to share what I know. > > 73, > Andy, k3wyc > ______________________________________________________________ > 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] ______________________________________________________________ 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]
