[Elecraft] New KPA500/KAT500 with my "old K3)

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Number 4 under OPERATION/TRANSMITTING on page 11, "When driving the KPA500
with an Elecraft K3, use the K3's per-band power control to set the
amplifier output just below the desired peak output on each band."

That requires that you use the AUX to ACC cable between the K3 and the
KPA500 as shown under K3 ENHANCED CABLING on page 24.

You aren't the first to miss it. The next rev of the manual will make that
instruction more obvious.

Hi Bruce. Check CONFIG:PWR SET on the K3. I'm pretty sure that you need to
have it set PER BAND.

The KPA500 manual should say this, but I didn't see it in there when I
looked.

GL/enjoy
