New KPA500 and XG3 info pages up on the website

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ]

We're finally catching up.  We have new info pages for the KPA500 and
the XG3 signal source up on the Elecraft web page. We've also added
these products to our products page etc.

See:

I don't see the AUX band button mentioned anywhere in the KPA500 manual.
Whatzit do?  :-)

Also, I think I saw a post regarding the KPA500 needing it's own serial
port, true?  Is it just for firmware install?   And the XCVR serial port is
just for Kenwoods?

Would be nice (*) for a K-Line to simply daisy chain the K's together:
  PC -> KPA500 -> P3 -> K3      (* = simpler for 1-port PCs, no cable
thrashing)

Patiently waiting for my April 6 ordered KP500/K

73, Bill  N2BC

Hi Bill,

The AUX button is for future expansion. Not determined at this time.

The computer RS-232 is for firmware downloads and remote control, if desired. It does not need to be connected for regular AMP operation. You do not daisy chain the KPA500 at all.

The second RS-232 is for monitoring Kenwood band info, since those rigs do not have dedicated band data outputs.

73,
Eric
