Check your cables. It may be that you are using a straight-through cable with the power pins connected between the K3 and the KPA. These two pins (pin 8 on both sides) must not be connected. 73! Jack, W6FB > On Aug 8, 2019, at 1:05 PM, w4sc wrote: > > Is there an issue with the KPA500 being

Ben, You no longer have to worry about the KAT500 stopping the K3 power on. That was fixed in a 4.xx firmware update eons ago. If you have a 5.xx firmware version in your K3 you have nothing to worry about. As far as I know there never was an issue with the KPA500. I never had any issues with

Well, I actually have three reasons why I think the root of this discussion has been misguided: 1.  Typical portable operation is for casual fun while camping or just enjoying the outdoors.  Squeezing out every last dB doesn't quite fit that scenario. 2.  If you are trying to squeeze out
