Tony,

Look at the CONFIG Menu description in the manual.
Turn CONFIG:PWR SET to Per Band and then with the AMP on, go to each band and set the proper power to drive the amp on that band.

With the AMP off, you should have full range of the Power control.
Yes, you need the AUX cable so the K3 knows the state of the amplifier.
If you have the KAT500 as well, you will need 2 AUX cables.

Tony, The Config Menu has a Per-Band power setting (PWR SET = PEr bAnd) that will set the power output depending on the band selected. If you use the Aux cable between the K3 and KPA500 is is fully automatic and seamless. 73 George AI4VZ

George:

I must be missing something because when I select PER BAND in the config menu, there's no power setting to set.

It doesn't display the power like TUN PWR does where the tune power is shown within that menu item so you can adjust it.

I have to order the AUX cable, but in the meantime I'd like to use this setting with the K3S so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Tony
