KPA500 feature suggestion - band bypass

A feature suggestion ... may not be the best time for it, but incase
it could be worked into the dev-cycle somehow....

I'd like to be able to configure the KPA500 to automatically put
itself in standby on certain bands, and active on others...
configuration would look like the K3's band-map.

The reason... in my remote setup, I have resonant antennas on some
bands, and currently use a KAT3 to make other bands (mostly WARC)
work. I'd like to be able to use the KPA500 on the "main" bands, but
still use KAT3 on the others... without having to remember to place
the KPA500 in standby..... at least until the KAT500 is ready :)

Yep, this is an obvious requirement. It may already be there but I
can't find it. If it is, please point it out for me. Thanks.

Well that sounds very disappointing ... can we gets specs on the
maximum reflected power that this sensor circuitry can safely handle ?

Re: KPA500 feature suggestion - band bypass

As Jack points out, the ATU belongs AFTER the KPA500 if you are using
non-resonant antennas.

if you are using some resonant and some non-resonant, and you want to
use the KAT3 for the non-resonant, then attach the resonant antennas to
the KPA500 and the non-resonant antennas to the other antenna connector
on the KAT3, This way, the KPA500 will not be subjected to the voltage
or current extremes that might occur ion the feedline if you attempt to
put the KPA500 between the ATU and the antenna.

Otherwise, a high-power-capable ATU after the KPA500 will be needed, or
you will need to bypass the KPA500.

Re: KPA500 feature suggestion - band bypass

In reply to this post by Iain MacDonnell - N6ML-2

Like most hams, I use an antenna tuner on some bands. When I switch to those
bands, the amp will automatically switch but of course it will have to be
put in standby so I can adjust the tuner. I'm sure this is a common
situation, shared by many others.

The auto-bandswitch function of the amp should have an option to put the amp
into standby. Otherwise, it will guarantee that eventually the amp will be
operated into a mismatch and something will hot switch and/or blow.

Hi Ian,

Jack is incorrect. It is not as critical as he implied. I operate often
into high SWRs with my K3/KAT3 running through the amp in bypass mode.
I'll discuss this with the team here and get back to the list with any
bypass mode operating limits.

Kinda tricky to do that with the KAT3 that's already inside the K3 :P

It's not quite that simple... basically, I'm using a Force12 C3SH,
which is resonant on 10/15/20, but also provides some gain on the WARC
bands, with a tuner for matching. I want to be able to use it QRO on
the bands where it's resonant, and barefoot with KAT3 on the 12/17m.

I'm hoping the KAT500 (?) will be a solution some day soon. Meanwhile,
Eric has given me renewed hope. I'll not cancel my order just yet ;)

Tony - There is a menu set-up option in the KPA500 such that it can either
be set to stay in OPERATE when you change bands, or drop to STANDBY when you
change bands.

Re: KPA500 feature suggestion - band bypass

In reply to this post by Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ

If the amp is in standby the amp should do whatever it needs to protect
itself from high swr or whatever. The other options suggested seem a
bit out of the ordinary to me.

I will probably buy a LDG tuner anyway as I understand the KAT500 is
still in design. The LDG unfortunately does not handle 500 watts on 6m
even with their 1k version if I am not mistaken.

Re: KPA500 feature suggestion - band bypass

In reply to this post by Phil Salas

Yes, but then you have to remember to "do the right thing" for the
band that you're changing to, every time... I'm envisaging a band-map
where I can specify:

6m Active
10m Active
12m Standby
15m Active
17m Standby
20m Active
....etc...

I just confirmed that there is -no- limitation when using the K3 at 100W
with KAT3 to work into a high SWR load through the KPA500 (in stand by
pass-through mode). If the KAT3 tunes it, you will be well within the
safe range for everyhting. :-)

Also, there is a KAT500 in the works for release later this summer if
all goes to plan. Stay tuned!
