KPA1500 F/W 2.09 Beta has been released to the elecraft website. It can be
downloaded from the support f/w- s/w page in the K-Line\KPA1500 section. F/W 2.09 provides a significant improvement in ATU tuning results. It also an improves the communication of current radio frequency between the K3/K3S and the 1500 via the AUX cable. For those of you upgrading from 2.0, see the full release note list on the Support Firmware and Software page link below. Both of these issues were highlighted in the recent "KPA-1500 tuner question" thread on the Elecraft email list. Our thanks to Scott-K9MA, Walt-WA1KKM, our regular KPA1500 Field Testers and others who have helped us quickly address these issues. We also have a new KPA1500 Utility (Windows Version 1.19.2.21) on the same KPA1500 page. Mac and Linux versions will appear soon. This utility version has several improvements and also fixes a bug where the erase ATU memories Utility button did not always perform the erase. (The erase always worked when done directly from the KPA1500 front panel menu.) The Support Firmware and Software page can be found at: https://elecraft.com/pages/firmware-software The new KPA1500 Utility, 2.09 beta instructions , release notes and a link to the beta download zip file are at the lower part of the KPA1500 section. For those who are familiar with the beta install process, the direct link to the 2.09 zip file directory is: https://ftp.elecraft.com/KPA1500/firmware/beta -- Eric /elecraft.com/ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

Eric,
Thank you for the update. I did find that I needed to reduce transceiver output from where I had it set ~26 W to 21 W to keep within legal output. Other wise no issues. I do use BYP for tuner as I have a remote tuner. 72 & 73, Bill K9YEQ FT'er for K2, KX1, KX3, KXPA100, KAT500, W2, etc. -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] <[hidden email]> On Behalf Of Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft Sent: Friday, March 1, 2019 2:28 PM To: Elecraft Reflector Reflector <[hidden email]> Subject: [Elecraft] KPA1500 F/W 2.09 Beta released.

The new to me KPA1500 seems to be behaving nicely, so time to make some room in the equipment closet.
(2) KPA500 amplifiers. Both these amps have the NX1P designed low drive modification. 15-20 watts in for full output. KAT500 Tuner. Completely stock, works as designed. All units working great, no problems since I’ve had them. Excellent physical condition. Please contact off list for additional info, pictures, etc. Ken K6MR k6mr <at> outlook.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |
