IMHO Norton is one of the most insidious viruses of all time. Ditch it
completely and run one of the free Microsoft offerings and possibly
Malwarebytes.
You will need to run the KPA500 Utility to update its firmware, change the
start-up banner and set various menu items easily.
You should read the KAT500 manual along with Fred Cady's book. They give you
sensible frequency segments to 'train' the KAT500, which is done in Auto
mode. Once you've stored tuning parameters (automatic) for each band and
antenna, you should switch to Manual mode, then every time you use a
particular frequency, the KAT500 will tune to the nearest segment and settle
down within milliseconds.

Subject: [Elecraft] New KAT500/KPA500 setup and utility software problems
Hi there,
I'm assisting my godfather with setting up a new KAT500 & KPA500 to add to
his K3/P3.
Issues I am having:
1) KAT500 makes quite a racket whenever keying up. It seems to settle down,
but as soon as I speak, it freaks out again. He has two antennas...a hex
beam on ant 1 and a G5RV on ant 2. The KAT500 seems to behave the same on
both.
2) He is running Norton on his PC. Norton allowed me to download the KAT500
utility, but not the KPA500 utility. It automatically deletes it. What's up
with that?
Thanks for any assistance. I tried to contact Elecraft support, but I guess
I was too close to closing.
Thanks, Steve KO6L
