The SteppIR & Optibeam are both resonant antennas & I use the KPA1500 in ATU Bypass. However I need the ATU for the 80M wire dipole when moving from the CW end to the SSB end of the band or for using the dipole on 160M. A single output coax runs from the amplifier to an auto antenna switch (using BCD codes) at the base of the mast. The KPA1500 does not seem to remember which bands the ATU is in Bypass mode & which bands are in ATU Tune mode. If I forget to change the ATU setting in the heat of a Contest, the amp switches into Standby with the Hard fault condition. Can the KPA1500 ATU be made to remember whether the ATU is in Bypass or In by band or have I just got to be more careful? 73 Ray G3XLG ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to d...@elecraft.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
