KPA1500 Status Displayed on K3

[Ed G]

I can’t think of a lower priority issue to have….so here is my question.  I have the KPA1500 and K3 cabled together. Why do status changes on the amp (for example when I switch the amp to standby) show on the K3 screen as “KPA500” and not “KPA1500?”  It looks like there is room on the K3 display for the missing digit, but maybe there is a display limitation? Amp firmware rev is 1.64.

Ed,

I am not certain of the answer, but the K3 to KPA500 or the KPA1500 is
the same.  So either the K3 firmware cannot distinguish between the two
or that the K3 firmware has not been updated to detect the KPA500 from
the KPA1500.

The display of the K3 is "hard coded". When it was designed, there was no
KPA1500 hence it can only read KPA500.
