Turn on KAT500?

[Dave Fugleberg]

Still trying to sort out my transverter problem - see my first post on that
today. I have only the transverters connected to the K3. When I connect
power to the rig runner, the k3 tried to power on by itself and displays
'turn on KAT 500'. I don't even have one, but I do have a P3, which is not
connected at this point.
I vaguely recall seeing that message when I first got my P3, and finding a
solution, I don't remember what it was.
Help?!

See http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/New-K3-field-test-firmware-new-PSK63-mode-changes-related-to-KAT500-amp-K3-0-mini-td7593869.html

Do you have something connected to AUX on the K3, that might be
pulling down the AUXBUS line?

Yeah I realized that while troubleshooting my other transverter problem, I
disconnected power to the transverters. That was pulling down the bus and
giving me that error.
I still have my original transverter issue from this morning, but I got
past the 'turn on KAT 500' error.
Thanks.

Dave,

Check the ACC cable at the K3 end.  I suspect one of the wires in the
transverter control cable is touching the DE-15HD connector pin 8
(Remote Power ON).
