I have an ICOM7300 with the KAT500 and KPA500. It is an outstanding
station and it is a pleasure to operate.
I would however, like to improve the operation by incorporating band
switching and frequency tracking. We built an Arduino based converter to
convert the ICOM CI-V serial data to Kenwood compatible RS232 serial
data. This data feeds both the tuner and the amp which both switch
bands. I can also hear the tuner switching band segments as I tune the
VFO across a band and I learn frequencies in each segment.
This setup is working well except I was hoping that it could emulate
some of the descriptions in the Elecraft videos of the tuner and amp
with a K3. Specifically when going back to one of the previously learned
band segments, the transceiver still calls for the short burst of RF
prior to transmitting at full power. The videos and manual description
implies that the K3 and possibly Kenwood and Yaesu transceivers, will be
tracked by the KAT500 and NOT require that short burst of RF. Is there a
configuration in the Utility program that will allow tracking on a
non-K3 transceiver? Is there something specific in the K3 (the tracking
function on P28 of the manual) that enables this feature to NOT require
the short burst on a previously learned frequency?
