Subject: [dxlab] KPA500 CAT commands
Some may get two copies of this e-mail. Sent to both DXLAB and ELECRAFT.
I am trying to be able to turn the KPA500 on with a DXLAB Commander 'user
defined controls' control. Any one been able to do this or know how?
>>>Version E4 of the "Elecraft K3 and KX3 Programmer's Reference", dated
2012-09-18, does not document any K3 CAT comamnd that powers up/down a
KPA500.
>>>The "KPA500 Programmers Reference" documents a command that can be used
to power a KPA500 up or down, but this requires an RS232 connection between
your PC and the KPA500. At present, Commander provides no way to control a
KPA500. It would be straightforward to extend Commander's user-defined
command capability to send commands to whatever device is attached to its
secondary CAT port. So if you're not currently using Commander's Secondary
CAT port, and if you are willing to set up the required RS232 connection,
the functionality you seek could be provided.
