Well obviously it is the power control. What I simply wanted to know was whether or not the ability existed to set software limits on that physical control. To me, it doesn't seem like a hard thing to implement in firmware.
The reason for asking is I'm limited in terms of how much output power I can run with an amplifier. If I wanted to tune with max drive being 40-50 watts, then I wanted to know if there was a way of setting limits on the power control knob. I've made the mistake of adjusting power output instead of compression on more than one occasion. 73 James On Thu, May 14, 2009 at 12:10 PM, David Ferrington, M0XDF < [email protected]> wrote: > surely this is the PWR control - there is no way to set an upper limit as > far as I know. > 73 de M0XDF, K3 #174 > -- > Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, > For you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup! > > > On 14 May 2009, at 17:07, K3JPS wrote: > > >> Dear all, >> >> I've checked the KPA3 manual along with the K3 manual, and didn't find any >> mention of a way to limit maximum output power with the KPA3. >> >> What I'd like to know then, is there something buried within the menu that >> would allow me to set max output to something like 30 - 40 watts?
