One unrelated comment: shouldn't format be a param as opposed to an
option? (I'm not sure about ka-map, for for a wms layer, format is a
param not an option)

Also, you use isBaseLayer:false. Do you really want that?

I just looked at initResolutions() and actually the layer's options
(resolutions, scales, maxScale, minScale, etc.) have precedence over
the map's options. So, you should be able to set minScale and maxScale
at the layer level.

What control do you use for zooming?

If you use the zoombar you should notice a change in its number of
zoom levels when you switch your base layer. Do you?

Could you tell more about your setup? In part. do you have both
baselayers and overlays?
