[Elecraft] KPA1500 no RF passthrough without amp keying

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Hi Dave,

When in standby mode the KPA1500 RF deck is bypassed by a relay and absolutely passes driver power from input to antenna without any amp keying required. If you think you are seeing something different, please contact support at elecraft.com and they will help you figure it out.

73,
