[Elecraft] KAT500 Remote software and KPA500 remote software

[Jack Brindle]

Are you referring to front or rear panel power? The K3 Utility can certainly power on a KPA500 if the rear panel switch is on. If that switch is off, it must be turned on before the front panel switch (or remote power-on) works. Now if you have a big relay in the power line to the KPA, it needs to be enabled as well.

Setting up remote stations is a skill. There are many ways to do it, and each need to be evaluated to get it done the way _you_ want.

By the way, to the original poster - if you are using a Mac, just add the two utilities to the user’s "Login Items” list in the User’s & Groups System Preferences pane. You just have to make sure that user is started up when the system powers up. There are other ways to do this, but by far that is the easiest.

73!
