Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 strange response

2016-08-03 Thread Don Wilhelm 

How did you determine that the cables seem "fine".
Did you do a continuity measurement on each pin?  Did you check for 
shorts between adjacent pins.


If selecting 12 meters on the K3 produces 6 meters on the KPA500, then 
there may be something awry with the BAND1 data output from the K3 to 
the KPA100.  That is pin 3 of the cable.

Solved. It was one of the cables. Anyway I believe so. I took the KAT out of 
the control loop and all is well with one of the cables but bad news with the 
other. Must be intermittent as it ohm 'd ok.

No matter how I change bands (k3, KPA front panel switches, or KPA utility), if 
I select 20m band, the KPA front panel displays 21.1. If the K3 is turned off, 
the KPA responds correctly to front panel switches or utility buttons. I have 
reloaded both K3 and KPA firmware to no avail. If I send rf out, the KPA 
switches to and displays the 20m band. Any ideas?
