KPA500 AUX button and RJ-45

[Bruce Hammond]

Just built my KPA500 and cannot find any info in manuals about the AUX button (in band selection area just below 1.8 and to left of 5). I am guessing it is for a future band or function. Anyone know for sure?

Also, there is an RJ-45 jack at bottom of front panel at right side, aligned about where the ON button is located. Used for what?

As I noted in an email to Bruce, the only current use for the AUX  
button is to tell the K3 that the button has been pushed. The K3  
firmware currently then selects the 2 meter transverter.

As on the K3, the RJ-45 is used for factory testing and development.

Jack et al,

I like the way the AUX button is set up.  I couln't resist tapping it the first
day I had the amp, and it did exactly what Jack said. :o)

KUDOs to Jack and the folks that worked on the KPA500 development.  Its a job
magnificently done.
