KPA1500 with K3 Remote question

I have just installed my new KPA1500 with my K3. I have run a line from
the 12V jack on the K3 ro the "remote" jack on the KPA1500. When I turn on
the K3, the KPA1500 also comes on, but in standby mode. Does anyone have a
macro for the K3 that will cause it to switch to "Operate"?

Tnx es 73 de Brian W3BW

Re: KPA1500 with K3 Remote question

There's a menu item on the KPA1500 to make it come up in operate mode.

If it's like a KPA500, you can have it go to Operate when powered on. Menu "PWR
ON = OPER"

Caveat, I don't use the K3 to turn on the amp. Separate operation.

Re: KPA1500 with K3 Remote question

I agree as I like to check antennas before operating. Less smoke comes out of the boxes that way.

Re: KPA1500 with K3 Remote question

Yes true and the KPA500 has a like menu to power up in Operate mode.
At the same time, I think bringing a station up in Operate mode is much
like starting a car in gear. Oh by the way, older cars and trucks with
manual transmissions, column or floor shift, could be started in gear.
Not usually with good outcomes either.

Re: KPA1500 with K3 Remote question

And, BTW, this was the only way to get home after the clutch bracket
failed and left you connected. You could start in 1st gear, and with
care, do your shifting without the clutch. I'm sure most of us old
timers remember doing that upon occasion!

K8TE

Re: KPA1500 with K3 Remote question

In reply to this post by Bob McGraw - K4TAX

When the clutch failed at a Spec Miata race at Miller Motorsports Park UT, I
used this method to start, run, and complete the race. My lap tap dropped
about two seconds, but I still placed in the middle of the pack. The clutch
didn't suffer nor would I expect the KPA1500 to suffer using this method.

73, Bill, K8TE

Yes true and the KPA500 has a like menu to power up in Operate mode.
At the same time, I think bringing a station up in Operate mode is much
like starting a car in gear. Oh by the way, older cars and trucks with
manual transmissions, column or floor shift, could be started in gear.
