[KXPA100] Feature Request

[Eric Norris-2]

I would like to see a way of locking out ANT2 in the KXPA100 amplifier.  The same button is used for TUNE and ANT select, and it is too easy to switch antenna ports when you are trying to tune the autotuner.  Perhaps something settable in the configuration utility?

Thanks for your consideration and 73,

Eric WD6DBM

You weren't the first to ask for this. You can enable or disable antenna connectors by band with the KXPA Utility. See help text and the Configuration tab.

Use current production versions of firmware and the Utility.

Dick,

Now that you are 'on the air'...

Pressing the tune button on the KAT500 means that I want to tune.
Wouldn't it be nice if the K3 (automatically) gives a tune signal when I
do that?

Is that somewhere on the list? Or will this never become reality?
