The PTT is generated by the transceiver

The question remains, is it possible to do it all in the firmware or
hardware mods will be required.

This whole issue
You can use the Utility program to change that power limit so the KPA500
will open the key line at higher powers. See Amplifier Key Interrupt Power
in your Owner's manual.

The PTT is generated by the transceiver. The KAT500 passes it thru to the amp
unless the KAT is tuning a high SWR. The problem is that the amp goes into
fault before the KAT can OPEN the key line. Firmware in the KAT with some
delay is not the answer...it's already too slow for the amp. If there
I think your analysis is right, and in some cases the ATU cannot break or
reconnect the key line while RF is present. We have KPA500 firmware in test
that does this. It is on its way to public availability.

That's of little help for all of us with non Elecraft Amps.

Make sure you are only routing the AMP keying line from the rig through
the KAT 500 to the amp. The tuner always interrupts this line when it is
tuning. This can be done either via the the AMP keying line RCA
connectors on the Rig, KAT500 and the AMP, or via the KPAK3AUX cable
connections
that feature implemented.

Hi Eric,
I do not have the AUX cable. As described in the video, I am only using the
RCA cable from the Flex 3000 into the KAT500 and then another cable from the
KAT500 down to the KPA500.
I am not using this with a K3 radio, which in that case, would only use the
AUX cable and no RCA Key

Hello Chris,
Your video shows what I am experiencing also. Firmware v.1.15 seems to have
been distributed to field testers to deal with the key line problem. So far
v.1.11 is all that is available to us at this time. Roy Morris W4WFB
