[Elecraft] Using the KPA1500 with an ICOM IC-7300

[Tom Whiteside]

My early vintage K3 headed back to Elecraft for repairs this week and I'm
trying to get my ICOM IC-7300 to fully interface with the KPA1500.   I have
followed the instructions Elecraft includes in the manual plus a great video
from WX0V - I can key the amp just fine but the amplifier is not tracking
band changes by the IC-7300.    I have the stereo cable going between the
KPA-1500 XCVR Serial and the IC-7300 CI-V Remote control jack and the
KPA1500 key-in RCA plug connected to the IC-7300 send control jack.

 

On the KPA1500, I have the Serial Speed host set to 19200bps and the Serial
Speed XCVR also set to 19200.   Not sure what the Serial Speed Host is for -
it is not mentioned in the instructions for the IC-7300.  Radio Type is
ICOM.  On the IC-7300, the CI-V USB baud rate is also set for 19200, CI-V
Transceive is on and the CI-V Output is on.

 

I have tried other baud rates.   Anyone have any ideas?  Thanks!
