K3-KAT500-KPA500 issues resolved

Hunsdon Cary III
Hi, David:
        A note to say that, as you suggested, I "exercised" the KAT500 over all bands (10-40 meters) on both CW & SSB sections so there are memories established for each band.
        All is working well and, again, I thank you for your interest and patience in helping me resolve the issues I encountered.  Looking back, the three real changes were:  (1) update firmware in KAT500 and KPA500 [and P3 Panadapter], and (2) to eliminate the data cable connection between the K3 and the KPA-500 and use the PA Amplifier Key cables between the K3 and KAT500 and between the KAT500 and KPA500, and (3) ground all units.
        Elecraft service is simply the best!  Thank you, David, for your excellent assistance.
        73,
       Cary, K4TM
       K3-100, #3448, KAT500 #144, KPA500 #698, and P3 #888
