I'll add that, in my experience, 40M is always the most problematic band

If split, use the same observations, but turn off XIT and use the other
VFO for TX (allowing you to hear the station being worked as well).
EVERY operator has a pattern, humans are just wired for consistency.
Find it, predict it, make that contact.

You’ve just defined the vast majority of DX (and DXpedition in particular)
contacts.
That doesn’t make less a part of ham radio.

Lyn,
You can try restarting the utility; sometimes if you push the front
buttons (power on/off, standby), the app gets out of sync for the KPA500.

Nope. "Should be" is not how it works. I have discussed this wi

So if your antennas demand a matching circuit (tuner), the LP sensor
becomes less valued at the output of the amp.

They can't assemble from parts they can't get; they can't sell without
assembly. What more do you expect of them?

Simpler yet, use an appropriate size (for your desk) tablet to manage the K4.
Then take that with you when you’re in another room, traveling, etc.

With my quiet environment I base my output power on the signal I receive, if
loud, low output; if weak, ramp it up.

Because it’s weak signal at the receiving end; you use what power it takes to
succeed in making the contact, up to the legal limit.
On 160M, 1500 watts out is common.

Using resonant antennas is SO much simpler.
