KAT Problems

Bob - checked all the cables - all tigh and well seated. Still same problems

*Paul:I would check the cables to be sure they are correctly seated
and secured for the ACC buss from the radio to the ATU and KPA500. It
maybe that the radio is not sending the commands to the ATU and then to
the KPA500.I followed the drawing in the KAT500 manual, Figure 1 on page

Re: KAT Problems

From your earlier with the tuner and amp not switching, I would connect the cable ACC direct to the amp from the radio. If the amp switched then issue is with the tuner. If the amp doesn't switch this points to the radio.

Recheck all of your CONFIG settings in the radio.

Looks like a call to Elecraft is in order.

KAT Problems

In reply to this post by Paul Ecker

"Additionally have noticed that my KPA500 is not sensing and changing bands on 40 or 160m. "

With the KAT500 utility connected and showing the "Operate" page - What "Last Observed" frequency is displayed when you are attempting to select your 160 m antenna? Does last observed frequency follow your rig frequency and/or your last RF transmit frequency?

Bob - made some progress. Reverted to a KAT configuration from last year.
It allows me to switch KAT to Ant 3 (160M). Additionally am use the KAT to
tune on 40M and KPA is switching to 40. So last issue is to get the KAT
and the KPA working on 160. So am going to do some trouble shooting on the
Antenna itself and the feed line.
