KXPA100

[Richard Thorpe-2]

Just set up my summer station  KX3-KXPA100 and the “ON”  LED on the KXPA100 is blinking slowly and I’ve forgotten what this means and how to clear it.  Help please. Thank you.

K6CG/VE1 for the summer

Are any of the fault lights lighting?
What is displayed in the KX3 display?

If you have the latest firmware on the KXPA100 it 5 watts or less out of the KX3 and the KXPA100 is in bypass mode , if you increase the power from the KX3 above 5 watts the amp will then be in line and you will get a steady power light.

Has anyone with the KX3/KXPA100 combination ever have this situation? The power reading on my KX3 indicates the power output is 100 watts. The LEDs on the KXPA100 indicate a power reading of from 70 to 90 watts depending on the band. My wattmeter (using an MFJ tuner set to bypass) follows the power output on the KX3. There are no fault readings and everything seems to be working as it should.

Any ideas as to why there is this difference?
