Unable to control SPE amplifier on/off status

Bob Watson All Messages By This Member #2291 Good day, all. I have been running the latest SPE flows for some time now with no problems accessing the dasnboard from my iPhone and controlling all the parameters of the SPE..? Now I find I can no longer put the amplifier in the Off condition.? The flows are behaving correctly.? However if I try to put the amplifier in the OFF condition, I get this message "Can't switch off: Power held by remote".? I expect this message when node red is running.? However, if I shut down my Pi running node red, the condition does not change.? I connected the SPE to my PC via the USB connection and run Term1.3K.? All functions work except I can not turn the amplifier OFF.? I get the same message as before. I did a general restore to default settings and nothing changed.? It appears that the internal SPE power logic is locked up.? The only way I can shut the amplifier off is to physically disconnect the main power.? When I re-apply main power, the amplifier goes straight to the ON condition. Has anyone run into this problem. 73, Bob, KN4HH
Dave wo2x All Messages By This Member #2292 开云体育 I’d suggest opening a help desk ticket with SPE since the terminal program does the same thing.? One thing you can try to do is reload the latest firmware. I helped a friend with a KPA1500 yesterday that the amp could not communicate with the radio. Internal memory in amp got corrupted. We reloaded firmware and reset amp and it started working.?

Nick M All Messages By This Member #2294 There is nothing connected to the REMOTE pins ? My 15 pin connector has remote pins . 12 volts applied to those pin turns on/off the amp . If 12volt is still applied the software will not shut down the amp . Just my 10 cent opinion. Inflation from 2cents . -- Nick W7NIK
Bob Watson All Messages By This Member #2306 Thanks all for your posts.? I discovered that the Remote ON switch built into the shell of the Flex CAT cable to the SPE had been moved to the active position.? Once I re-positioned the switch, everything now works correctly. Many thanks again for your suggestions. 73, Bob, KN4HH On Thursday, April 1, 2021, 11:11:35 AM EDT, Nick M via groups.io <w7nik@...> wrote: There is nothing connected to the REMOTE pins ?
