KAT500 config restore

[ANDY DURBIN]

If you attempt to use KAT Utility version 1.19.5.30 to restore a saved configuration it may hang up when progress bar shows complete (full green bar).  Config files can be restored with Utility version 1.16.7.25 which is the previous released version.  1.19.5.30 fixed a problem with writing SWR limits but seems to have broken config restore.

The utility author has been advised.

I've been having a problem with my installation that requires me to run the
KAT500 utility 'As Administrator'.

When I do this, it works.   When I don't, it fails - hangs, actually.

Perhaps this is related?

This config save problem is generally caused by a permissions issue to the configuration file folder.

You need a folder that a non-admin can create files and write into. The default folder is c:\Users\yourname\Appdata\Roaming\Elecraft\KAT500 configuration. You should be able to create a file in that folder with normal user permissions, without becoming an admin.

The KAT500 utility was updated a few months ago to specifically correct this
problem (I was the reporter and the guinea pig).

The current version is 1.19.8.5
