Thanks to the guys who pointed me in the direction of the K3 menu. I'd
wrongly assumed it was something at the computer end.

Your radio uses power only 35% of the time when transmitting CW, and about
25% during normal Voice SSB operation.

concerned. See W8JI paper on the subject which shows that the standing wave

Thanks for sharing this.

know of any other product line,
Hi to the Elecraft Reflector
I just acquired a KPA500 and connected it to a K2. I have the output of the
K2 connected to the input of the KPA500. Things checked out through a dummy
load in terms of loading the amplifier. The KPA500 is then connected to a
resonant antenna. When on standby,
Hello Ariel,
Does the KPA500 show the same band that the K2 is on? If not, try tapping your
key to send a little RF to the amp when in operate mode so it can measure the
frequency and switch in the correct band pass filters.
Cheers,

You may want to talk to tech support when they open on Monday. You can connect
the KPA to the K2 using a serial cable, but be sure to follow the K2 rules and
only connect pins 2, 3 and 5. DO NOT connect the other pins on the KPA -0 that
is, do not use a straight-through 9 conductor cable. Set
The KPA500 does not see the K2 Band. I do not have an RS232 connection just

Yes, there is an asterisk that appears on the KPA display after transmit. PA

For listening, you should not have serious RFI problems, so you can get any old
good quality audio system and have fun. Think dorm room stereo and find a
decent amp and speakers.
If you are transmitting, things get more difficult.
