Pete - I don't have a KPA1500, but do have a KPA500 with a KAT500... and the first thing that comes to mind is manual vs auto on the tuner... IF they can be selected on the '1500. With the KAT500 after the tuner has found a matching solution for each band segment, I then put the tuner in manual, and when I change bands the tuner selects the correct tuning solution and it does not seek a new one while I am transmitting. I know that was the advice for the KAT500 from the time I first got mine years ago. I assume that is valid advice for the tuner in the KPA1500, assuming that is an option.
