[Elecraft] KPA500 with Icom 7100

[Oliver Dröse]

Hi Chad,

used an IC-7100 together with my KPA500 remotely for almost a year 
(before upgrading my remote station to 100% Elecraft, i.e. using a K3 + 
K3/0 nowadays). Worked like a charm. Did not do any special cabling 
except PTT and coax, the KPA500 takes care of the band changes 
automatically with it's RF sensor. The only "drawback" is you have to 
switch on the KPA500 using the KPA Utility software as there is no 
"switching signal" as the K3 can provide using a special macro. But I 
never had a problem with the KPA software doing the job except you need 
an own remoteable serial port for it.

Hope that helps.
