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
illustrate why this is important, try the following: tap the HV button. The
HV will be displayed. Next tap the CURRENT button. The LCD will change to
current. Now tap the Current button again. The LCD will change to HV, not to
the band. At this point the only way to get to the band is to tap a band
button.

 

Thus this is actually the correct behavior. How would you have it behave
differently? In other words, what would you change to get the behavior you
would like?

 

Note that when changing the band from the transceiver the LCD will
momentarily display the new band, then will go back to whatever parameter
you have selected.
