KX3+KXPA100+KPA1500 band data?

Elecraft mailing list
Is there a way to send band data from the kx3+kxpa100 combo to the kpa1500?  I keep forgetting to change bands.

 If there is no way for you to send band data from the kx3, the kpa1500 should change it's band with one transmitted dit, same as the Acom2000a.

Eric,

There is no quick and easy path to do that.  Your easiest solution is
just to let the KPA1500 auto-select the band.  It has frequency sensing
and just a brief burst of RF will cause it to change bands.

A more indirect solution is to use a band decoder like the Elecraft KRC2
which will sense the RS-232 data and provide band data output.  You
would have the use the KXSER cable on the KX3/KXPA100 combination and a
USB to serial adapter (KUSB) to the computer.
You then would have to feed the KRC2 band data to the KPA1500, but the
KRC2 has explicit bands decoded, and they would then have to be encoded
to drive the 4 band data inputs on the KPA1500.
So as far as I know, there is no direct plug-in solution.

Or a tap on the mic.
