[Elecraft] Extra Protection For KPA500?

[Don Wilhelm]

Tony,

Look at the CONFIG Menu description in the manual.
Turn CONFIG:PWR SET to Per Band and then with the AMP on, go to each 
band and set the proper power to drive the amp on that band.

With the AMP off, you should have full range of the Power control.
Yes, you need the AUX cable so the K3 knows the state of the amplifier.
If you have the KAT500 as well, you will need 2 AUX cables.

73,
