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
