Thanks for all the helpful suggestions - particularly from Dick K6KR and Rob from Elecraft Technical support. The KPA1500 tracking an IC-7300 issue has been solved! The trick was making sure XCVR SERIAL HOST is disabled.

I have followed the instructions Elecraft includes in the manual plus a great video from WX0V - I can key the amp just fine but the amplifier is not tracking band changes by the IC-7300. I have the stereo cable going between the KPA-1500 XCVR Serial and the IC-7300 CI-V Remote control jack and the KPA1500 key-in RCA plug connected to the IC-7300 send control jack. On the KPA1500, I have the Serial Speed host set to 19200bps and the Serial Speed XCVR also set to 19200. Not sure what the Serial Speed Host is for - it is not mentioned in the instructions for the IC-7300. Radio Type is ICOM. On the IC-7300, the CI-V USB baud rate is also set for 19200, CI-V Transceive is on and the CI-V Output is on. I have tried other baud rates. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
