[Elecraft] KPA 500 glitch

[Jack Brindle]

Jim;

Check the AUXIO cable to make sure it connects to the K3S and the KPA500 (or KAT500) properly. This sounds like the Band1 signal may not be making proper contact.

The KPA500 watches the K3S’s Band signals for its band selection when RADIO is set to K3. If doesn’t see the combination for a band, then it will select the wrong band.
It is possible that the K3 is outputting transverter band info, but since it changes with HF band, it doesn’t seem likely. The cable issue seems most likely at present. You might
remove the connectors and make sure no pins are bent and that the pins are making proper contact.

73!

For some reason, the other day I accidentally hit a button combination on the K3S (not sure what I hit) and the KPA500 is now thinking 7.0 MHz is 1.8 and some of the other bands aren't switching correctly either.  I can't find the command or whatever might cause this in the documentation I have.  It's been working properly since I got it some years ago.
