Re: [Elecraft] KPA-1500 s/n 56
Ed, Did you ever install any Prolific USB devices in your system? Prolific Device Drivers are buggy and can often interfere with the FTDI drivers. Prolific Device Drivers can be uninstalled. You can use the free USBDeview facility to look for this: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click to download the 64-bit version, (direct link https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usbdeview-x64.zip). Unzip to empty directory, then run usbdeview.exe. Scroll way over to the right and click on the column header "Device Mfg" to sort by that column. Look for "Prolific" in the list. Right click and uninstall. Then reboot and reconnect the USB cable to the KPA1500. If it's still not recognized, you may have a bad USB port on your amp. 73, Bob, N6TV On Sun, Apr 1, 2018 at 11:43 AM, Ed Gilliland wrote: > I received my KPA-1500 s/n 56 last Friday and have it on the air.

Re: [Elecraft] Firmware Update TM Command
Bob This is a macro command so does not appear in the config or menu. Take a look at page 27 of the Programmer Ref. You can use the command tester in the Utility to try it out. Just for reference here is the Programmer Manual reference TM (Transmit Meter Mode; GET/SET; K3/K3S only) RSP format: TM0; (SWR/RF metering) or TM1; (CMP/ALC metering). This sets the transmit meter mode for the LCD bargraphs, as well as for the BG command (equivalent to using the METER switch). When TM0 is in effect, BG returns the RF level. When TM1 is in effect, BG returns the ALC level. 73 Dave K5MWR On 4/2/2018 9:05 PM, Bob McGraw K4TAX wrote: Is this feature new or unique to the K3 but has been resident for the K3S?

Re: [Elecraft] power varying - KPA1500
Carl I have not experienced any of this type problem. I have my CONFIG:PWR SET to PER BAND so that the K3s switches power levels depending on if the KPA1500 is OP/STNBY. Since you are saying this depends on your output power then would first look for RF feedback issues. Are you using the Aux cable between K3s/KPA1500?
