well after many hours of trying to sort out the problem with my 
FT5000+KPA1500 not switching bands with Writelog, it turned out the 
current firmware update (2.48) that Elecraft has listed for the KPA1500 
amp on it's web site was defective. After their support admitted that it 
didn't work and a beta was there (2.53) I got it down loaded and 
everything back to normal. So anyone with the KPA1500 amp... BEWARE... 
the 2.48 update will mess you up. I literally spent hours on this since 
Saturday when in the RU contest using Writelog this problem surfaced. 
But I am happy to be back to normal. I even bought the latest Writelog 
12.55 thinking issue might be there... $30 I didn't need to spend! I 
hate software arguments! HNY 73's Cort K4WI
