RC-1216H setup for Elecraft KPA500 control
The RC-1216 can be configured to remote control a Elecraft KPA500 Power Amplifier. The
controls and indicators are almost the same as on the front of the PA so you will recognize
them immediately. There are controls for on/off, standby/operate. The indicators are also the
same as on the PA like Forward power, SWR, Band segment, Temp indicators etc. The web
based control is very handy to use specially when traveling etc, as you can control the PA
from any device with a web browser like smartphones, pads etc.
A serial cable has to be connected from the RC-1216H to the PA RS-232 port. It’s should be a
standard RS-232 cable with straight connection 9PF -9PM.
You also need to connect the PA to direct to the radio to get the necessary control functions
from the Radio. If you need to connect CAT ports to the Radio, the Radio-RRC and the PA,
check the Remoterig RRC-1258 manual how to use the RRC as a serial port server. Eg. you
connect the PA to the RRC COM1 and the Radio to COM2.
