Re: One minor issue with the KPA500

Bob Cunnings NW8L
Any progress in this area? I'm experiencing the same problem.

KPA500 s/n 468 fw v1.11 with BAND CHG set to STBY
K3 s/n 495 fw v4.42 with PWR SET set to  PER BAND

Works correctly when using band change up/down buttons on K3 but when
using band change buttons on KPA500 the power setting for OPER remains
in effect after the change - the STBY power setting is not recalled.

This _was_ fixed in the V1.11 firmware. I will be contacting you off-list to
get more details to determine why it may not be working in your setup.
