Good Evening,
Conditions were as predicted: low noise, weak signals. What I had
not expected was the depth of the QSB. S7 or 8 one moment to S2 or
below the next. Lower noise helped me dig out weaker signals. Forty
meters was its usual self - changing within a minute. For some reason
Good Evening
I bought a used KXPA 100 with tuner
that had been stored
and It seems to have a difference between the power setting on the KX3
and the actual output power.
When I set the Kx3 for 50 watts I get about 40 watts out into a dummy load.
It’s the same when set for 100 watts, I get
I have had the IC-7610 and the KPA500/KAT500 for over three years and it
works very well when I switch bands with the intention of transmitting. My
"nit" to pick is that the KAT500, as has been said, can not be preset by
the IC-7610 in receive. It can preset the KPA500, for all bands but WARC,
by
Yes, I believe you're right, Andy. At least the CI-V is capable of
including frequency data - but KAT doesn't read it.
The KPA does read band data, presumably from voltage.

May work for you but are you using KAT500 antenna port selection? My issues
with RF detection as the primary tuning mechanism include

For what it's worth, I downloaded it, changed the code to accept dates
up to 2050, and compiled it in Lazarus successfully under Windows 10.
But it didn't run -- runtime exception. I'll have to look into it further.
Incidentally, the date validation function is in utils.pas, not main.pas.

"The only downside to using Icom gear with the KPA/KAT500 is that Elecraft does
not "read" the frequency "voltage" indicator and therefore does not preset the
tuner to the correct values without transmitting."
KPA500 only needs to know the band but KAT500 needs to know the actual
frequency
Hello Albin, SM6WJM
I have some left-over black pan head Phillips 4-40 screws from
assembling my K2 # 136 in June, 1999
IF you yet need some, will find a bubble envelope to send them to Sweden
Cheers, Jan K1ND

I'll chime in too, echoing what Ken says. All you need is the "tune" cable
to connect the KAT500 to the rig for control of the Tune function. I also
use the LDG cable (just because it's easy ...) but you can easily make your
own. (I am not familiar with the Ten-a-Tuner mentioned by Buck ...
Is there a packaged source for the required parts or do I get them from Mouser?
Thanks.
