[Elecraft] KPA 500 - Normal behavior?

[Lu Romero]

All:

Thanks for all your input.  Big thank you to Richard VE3KI
for his excellent email which should be in the manual
verbatim, frankly!

I have heard from Elecraft Support, and the factory says
that the only pins that are disabled on a standard KPAK3AUX
cable are as follows:

Pins 1, 6, 7, 8 and optionally on some cables, 4

If you need external PTT, you can use the "interruptor" to
disable pin 10.

Pin 11 can be used with a macro to remotely turn the KPA on
and off via DIGOUT1

I disconnected my pin 8 and the power issue I illustrated
went completely away.

Thought you all would want to know in case others walk in my
footsteps in the future.

I don't have any of that behavior. I can turn one on/off or
the other.
I think you have more pins connected that Elecraft does not
connect with their
cable...probably pin #8.
