K3 - Amplifier Recognition

[Elecraft mailing list]

Using N6TV ‘s “Y-Box,” I can switch between the KPA500 or my new KPA1500 effortlessly as needed. However, regardless of which amp is active, the K3 message that informs you that the amp has been switched to/from stand-by to active always reads KPA500.
For someone running amps in the same configuration remotely, this maybe an issue.
Has anyone else noticed this?
If so, have you determined a remedy?

Thanks,
Bill-W0BBI

 I'm thinking there will be a firmware update to fix this.  I don't have a Y box but the only menu choice in the K3 is kpa500 and that is what I see from the 1500on the K3 display although it might already be fixed as I haven't upgraded firmware in a while.

When we next release K3 firmware, the message flashed on VFO B will be “KPA*500”, intended to convey that either a KPA500 or KPA1500 is connected. At present the K3 doesn’t distinguish between the two, since they’re identical as far as operating state and error messages are concerned.

Wayne .. turns out you’re a humorist, too.  Perfect solution.  Unfortunately, it may generate a too long thread with much ranting .. :-)
