Roy: There's a great video from WX0V that goes through this with an IC-7610, and it's just almost exactly the same for the IC-7300.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THPVhWdMLQs KPA1500 SERIAL SPEED HOST should be left at 230,400; it is the KPA1500's connection to a personal computer and has nothing to do with the transceiver interface. The key KPA1500 menu choices are: TECH MODE ENABLED RADIO TYPE ICOM SERIAL SPEED XCVR 19200 (or 9600 or 4800, but must match the CI-V speed of the IC-7300). I use 19200 here. XCVR SERIAL HOST DISABLED The key ICOM choices: Tap MENU, then "Set", then "Connectors", then "CI-V" Set CI-V Baud Rate to the same value as the KPA1500's SERIAL SPEED XCVR, probably 19200 Set CI-V Output (for ANT) to ON I have CI-V Transceive ON, but I'm not certain that's critical. There is a KPA1500 LCD status screen that shows the most recent frequency from your transceiver. The top row comes from your transceiver XCVR FREQ 14008 I just tested this yesterday. 73 de Dick, K6KR -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Roy Morris, Jr. via Elecraft Sent: Thursday, July 23, 2020 12:18 To: Elecraft Reflector <[email protected]> Subject: [Elecraft] Connecting IC-7300 to KPA1500 I would like the KPA1500 to change bands and frequency bins established by the IC-7300. I understand this can be done with these cables:1) Cable between KPA1500 KEY-IN jack and IC-7300 SEND CONTROL jack.2) Stereo cable between KPA1500 XCVR SERIAL and IC-7300 CI-V REMOTE CONTROL jack. This is a stereo cable with 3.5mm jacks on each end. 3) KPA1500 serial speed host and SERIAL XCVR SPEED should both be set to 19200.4) I am not sure about this step. When XCVR serial host is disabled, does this mean CI-V TRANSCEIVE in IC-7300 menu should be OFF?Thanks for helping me with the KPA1500 and IC-7300 menu items.
