We've updated the "production" firmware for KPA1500 to version 02.38.
To get this version: Start the KPA1500 Utility. Choose the "Firmware" tab. Click "Copy New Files from Elecraft". This should bring the new firmware and release notes onto your PC's disk. View the Release notes with the KPA1500 Utility Help - KPA1500 Firmware Release notes menu item. Then click "Send Firmware to KPA1500" to actually send firmware in the amplifier. Changes in 02.38 are also described on our web site: Elecraft.com, and work your way thru "Support", "Firmware/Software", "Amplifier Firmware and Software", KPA1500. 73 de Dick, K6KR ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [hidden email] |

"Geez, couldn't have just posted the link?"
Well that's not any better because Elecraft seems to have used a page structure that does not change the URL. Navigate to the page of interest and copy the URL but that URL takes you to the parent page. Not a very clever design. The update details are: 02.38 12/2/2019 * Bug fix: fan speed was reduced too quickly during cool-down * Switch to STBY if BAND CHANGE->STBY is enabled and the frequency (from XCVR or TX count) is below the amp's frequency range * Reduce reflected power fault events when band or ATU settings change * Reduce turn-off delay when XCVR KEY is used * Wait longer after band change to inform K3 that KPA1500 has switched to STBY when BANDCHANGE->STBY is YES * Skip ATU HiSWR retune if the current bin contains only the ATU setting that matches the ATU relays * Added ^DA command to display current ATU frequency, relay settings, and bypass SWR. Get with ^DA; response is like ^DA10128 AN1 Side TX 280 nH (L05) 571 pF (C36) SWR Bypass 4.0; * Add Tech Mode FAN SPEED DWELL menu item and ^DW command to set the time fans stay at a given speed after crossing a cool-down temperature threshold. * Add Tech Mode BOOT BLOCK VERSION menu item and ^BV command to display the boot block firmware version.. ^BV; response is like ^BV01.06;" Andy, k3wyc ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [hidden email] |
