Disparity between KPA500 remote utility downloads

DAVID INGEBRIGHT
Attaching a couple of screenshots of two different KPA500 remote operating screens, a plain one and a great one. I want to download the great one into my l#2 win7 PC and cannot seem to get the one I want. Are there two KPA500 remote utilities?
This is what I get upon downloading the KPA500 utility today..., a stripped down gray and white panel showing the essentials of the amplifier parameters:

A month ago I downloaded  (what I thought was the same utility) and I got this nice color, animated, easy to use remote screen.

These were downloaded from the Electraft K line utility and firmware download page. Could someone shed some light on this?
Thanks

Hi Dave,

These are two different programs. The first one you show in the jpg, with less
color, is the KPA500 utility, which is primarily designed for downloading code
to the 1500 and reading back status etc in real time. It also has very basic
remote control.

The KPA500 Utility is downloaded from
https://elecraft.com/pages/firmware-software
under the 'Amplifier Firmware and Software' tab.


The second 'more colorful' program you show on your webpage is the KPA500 Remote
. It is the full featured remote control program for the KP500.

The KPA500 Remote Software is downloaded from the same
https://elecraft.com/pages/firmware-software
page under the  'Logging and Control Software for the K-Line and KX-Line'  tab.
