Band data is the only thing that the KPA500 requires to operate.
Actually, beginning with the tuner that goes with the K3 and their KPA
amps do NOT need band data -- they detect frequency with as little as a
35 wpm dit or a tap on the mic and nearly instantaneously switch to the
right band, and, if they have been properly trained per their manual, to
the detected spot in the band! My Alpha 87As are also pretty fast.
I"ve NEVER used band data with any of these amps or Elecraft tuners
(KAT500, KPA500, KPA1500) or with the Alpha 87As. I DO use band data to
switch bandpass filters and to switch antennas.
