[Elecraft] New KPA500 problem.

[Jack Brindle]

If you try this, be sure to set RADIO = BCD. If it is set to K3 (the default), then tapping a band button results in sending an AuxBus message to the K3, which will then change bands. With no K3 connected, nothing will happen.

Andy, you really should get a K3S or K4… <grin>

73!
