Hello List,

I am pleased to announce that the Elecraft KPA 500 #1584 is alive and running fine.

This morning i collected the package from the customs office. After I arrived at home I checked all the parts.
Nothing was missing so I started the assembley. After about 5 hours the KPA emmitted the first Radio signal.

Now it is connected to my K3 with the KPAK3AUX (the 15 pole and the Y-cable) cable and the K3 shows messages from the KPA500 if I press OPER/STBY
but shouldn't the K3 decrease the power to 40W in OPER ? And in standby increase to 100W?

Fw K3: 4.60 FE KPA:1.23

What can be the fault?
