[Elecraft] KAT500 Remote software and KPA500 remote software

[Lyn Norstad]

I meant to follow up on this sooner, but … so here’s what I found with the KPA500 and KPA Utility Rev 1.13.7.16.  First, the KPA500 rear power switch must, of course, remain in the ON position at all times.

 

Once the KPA500 has been powered on with the Front panel switch (and communications is set up properly between the computer and the KPA500), in order to have ON/OFF control from the utility app, the KPA500 must never be turned OFF from the front panel switch.

 

It’s OK to use the other front panel controls (including STANDBY/OPERATE), just not the ON/OFF power button.

If you're running Windows, yes I know how to do that.  But keep in mind that the KPA Utility will not connect to the KPA500 unless the amp is first powered on.

 

To have the programs start on boot, just drag them into the Windows "Startup" folder (I am on Windows 7).  

 

In Windows 10, search "Startup Apps."

Can these remote software's be in host mode on startup?  I run a remote 

and would like to have them connect to the hardware and be in host mode 

on boot of the computer.  Right now I just log on remotely and start 

each one as needed.

 

Thanks,
