A question about using the K3S with KPA500 on full break-in

[Steve Ireland]

G’day

A good friend of mine for who English is not his first language is wanting to run full-break in with his K3S and KPA500. The KPA500 manual appears not to have a section in it on doing full break-in with the K3S.

Please can someone on the list let me know what interconnections/cables are required between the two transceivers to do this and whether there are any menu selections that need to be made, so I can pass this information onto him.

Thank you!

Hi Steve,

Maybe the K-line_intro_guide.pdf available at http://www.ke7x.com/home/k-line-introduction-and-set-up-guide might help.  Although written for the K3, there isn't anything different you need to do for the K3S.

Hi Fred

Thank you so much for the information and the K-line intro_guide PDF – very much appreciated!  It looks like the key to the situation is connecting the ACC connector from the K3S to the KPA500 and, once this is done, the KPA500 will follow the K3S settings, i.e. if the K3S is set to full-break in, the KPA500 will follow this.

Have a great weekend!!!

The KPA500 is a full-break-in amplifier without doing anything to it. There is no setup, you just use it.
There is no communications between the K3 and KPA500 as to the need for break-in,  just set the
K3 or K3S as desired (break-in or not) and the KPA500 will work just fine!
