New KPA1500 feature: ATU TUNE integration with K3 and K3S transceivers

[wayne burdick]

If your KPA1500 is connected to a K3/K3S via the ACC cable, you’ll be able to tune the amplifier’s internal ATU without touching any controls on the transceiver.

For a manual tune, all that’s required is to tap the ATU TUNE switch on the amplifier. (Originally, three switch presses were required, because of the need to start and stop TUNE at the transceiver. This will now be handled automatically.)

For SWR-based re-tunes, the amplifier can now complete the ATU tuning cycle quickly even in SSB mode, with no operator intervention required.

Maybe this could be put on the list of enhancements for those of us using a
500 watt K-Line system?
Maybe even similar to the KX3/KXPA, where the transceiver ATU TUNE button
tunes the KAT500.
One press of ATU TUNE on the K3/K3S or TUNE on the KAT500 would be very
welcome for me!

Even though I am impatiently awaiting my KPA1500, I would really like this
feature for my KPA500 too!
