[Elecraft] Disparity between KPA500 remote utility downloads

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Hi Dave,

These are two different programs. The first one you show in the jpg, with less 
color, is the KPA500 utility, which is primarily designed for downloading code 
to the 1500 and reading back status etc in real time. It also has very basic 
remote control.

The KPA500 Utility is downloaded from
https://elecraft.com/pages/firmware-software
under the 'Amplifier Firmware and Software' tab.


The second 'more colorful' program you show on your webpage is the KPA500 Remote 
. It is the full featured remote control program for the KP500.

The KPA500 Remote Software is downloaded from the same
https://elecraft.com/pages/firmware-software
page under the  'Logging and Control Software for the K-Line and KX-Line'  tab.
