[Elecraft] KPA500 Strange Behavior?

[Jim Brown]

Hi Tony,

Like all modern Elecraft products, there are menu settings for how the 
unit behaves. They're all detailed in the manual, which can be 
downloaded if we don't have the manual that came with the unit.

However, I've noticed that whenever I short press the TEMP button to display PA temperature, the amp momentarily switches to a different band, which the auto-band switching corrects when transmitting.
