[Elecraft] KXPA100 Loosing Communications/ Turns PA Mode Off

[Frank Krozel]

Just a thought…
Not using a KXPA but do use my radio remotely..

I run my remote control radio with HRD for the past 5 years.. I run the radio at 4800 with the thought that any issues might not affect the communications path to the radio from the computer.  Never… had a drop-out.
