Folks,
Sorry, I had a typo in my response here - the short is in the KAT100, not
the KPA100.
Thanks Jack for catching this - it is still early in the day, even on the
East Coast <G>.

John,
You apparently have a short in the KPA100, most likely on the 12CTRL line.
You can find this line on the schematic entering the KAT100 at J3 pin 8.
Follow the line to determine what other points it connects to and check them
all until you find the short. I do not know what the resistance to ground
should really be on this line, but it certinly must be significantly higher
than zero.
