[Elecraft] KPA 1500 and ICom 7560 Pro2 control

[Dick Dievendorff]

Would a CI-V cable work for you?  I personally tested IC7600 and 7300 and I’ve been told that 7610 also works. The amp looks for the TX frequency message from the exciter. I’m not sure whether a 765 pro 2 sends that. If it doesn’t, I can teach KPA1500 firmware to look for the frequency message the 765 sends as you move the VFO, if I can figure out what that is. We want the TX VFO freq to deal with split and XIT. I’m away from my notes, but I think the CI-V message might be 1C with a sub code 3 for tx freq. 

If you connect the radio to amp via CI-V, check the XCVR FREQ status page, that comes from the CI-V message. Also choose Icom on the RADIO TYPE menu. There’s is a speed to match up and the radio needs to know to send TX freq messages on QSY, that’s called transceive in some icom documents.
