Hi
Just a thought. Will there be a change tot he K3 firmware to support the
KPA1500?
When a KPA500 is attached to the K3, the K3 knows if the KPA500 is on
and active and changes the drive level accordingly, however should a
KPA1500 be attached as well, the K3 will have to know which amp is
active and on which antenna port (and band) if more than one is present
as in the case of the ATU board. Is this a feature in the to do list or
does it actually exist but no one has seen / used it yet. The same could
have been said if two KPA500 where attached.
I am considering a KPA1500 but having in the last 6 month bought a SPE
1.3k FA and got to like it. Now I am not sure what to do. What I like
about the SPE is the two i/p and four antenna ports. What I like about
the KPA1500 is the full integration both electrically and ergonomically
as well as the pin diode switching. The slight increase in power is not
an issue. If I didnt have the SPE i would definitely have had a KPA1500
to go with the K line (Kpod,K3,KAT500,KPA500,P3). Now I have to think of
part chopping the SPE!
