Dear OMs and YLs,
Can someone please advise me as to what ERR KP 1 indicates. Using my
K3 and KPA 1500 on Six meters FT8 I get this message only while transmitting on
the K3 screen with no indication of a problem on the KPA 1500 . If I place
the KPA 1500 into standby mode the message does not appear. I do not use
ALC. There seems to be no reference to this error message in either manual.
The amplifier seems to be working just fine.
If I lower the K3 drive (8W) drive to the amplifier so that the K3 KPA internal
amp is not engaged but the KPA 1500 is in operate mode, the problem does not
occur. Should I increase the power to 12 W from the K3 with KPA 1500 in
operate mode the error code does appear. Again the KPA 1500 seems to operate
perfectly. The K3 at 95W with KPA 1500 in STBY does not result in the KPA 1
message.
What does ERR KPA 1 indicate on the K3 screen?
Thank you for your help.

Subject: [Elecraft] K3s Power Selection
In the Config Menu:
PWR SET
If set to PER-BAND, the power level is saved on each band.
This is especially useful with external amplifiers.
Mine is set to PER-BAND.
If a KPA500 is connected to the K3S via the ACC cable (as mine is), two sets of
per-band power settings are saved: one for “barefoot” operation, one for use
with the amp.
Where and how do I save and then access these two savings? Are the somehow
automatically selected?
In my case I want to save 100 watts for "barefoot" operation and 25 watts for
amplifier operation. I've tried using Quick Memories 1-9 for bands — which
works fine — and Quick Memories M1 and M2 for the two power settings for each
band — which does NOT work.
What's the right way to do this?
