I understand what you are describing, Jack. When I change
bands from the KPA buttons with anything other the band info
displayed in the LCD display, the KPA display very briefly
shows the current band info and then the new band info is
displayed when the K3 changes bands and the KPA display doe
Ken;
My fault. My description was a bit foggy. When you tap a band button, it
changes the display parameter to the band/frequency. The request goes to the
K3, which then changes the band, as indicated on the BAND0..3 lines. The KPA
receives this, briefly displays the band, then goes back to dis
Actually, Jack, on my KPA500 when I change the band by
tapping a band button on the KPA, the display shows the band
information, but does NOT return to what was being displayed
before tapping the band button. When I change bands from the
K3, what you describe below does happen; i.e., a momentar
Taking a peek at the code I see you are right. The second tap of each parameter
actually does change back to the band display. I remember it used to be the way
I described it, but I bet that was a long time ago before the initial release.
So I stand corrected.
So now I'll go back to the origina
Hello, Jack:
Mine doesn't work that way at all. On s/n 108 with firmware
1.18, if I have PWR selected and tap HV, I see the HV on the
display. If I tap HV again, it then displays the band that I
am on, not the PWR. If I tap the HV button, the HV is
displayed. If I then tap the CURRENT button,
Maybe if the KPA500 would momentarily show the band selected and then go
back to the previously selected meter display (PWR output in my case), then
it would behave similarly like when you change bands from the K3? The meter
display would be "sticky"?

Tapping a button on the KPA500 causes the parameter associated with that button
to be displayed. Try tapping the HV button, you will see the voltage displayed
on the LCD. Tap HV again and you get the previous parameter displayed. Thus
tapping a band button causes the band to be displayed. To ill
I like to have the KPA500 display set to constantly show the PWR output.
I just noticed that when I swtich bands from my K3, the KPA500 display
stays set to display PWR output, but when I switch bands on the KPA500, the
display always goes back to display the band. Then I always have to press
