Subject: KAT500 Firmware Problem

 

I had a problem when I installed the latest version of KAT500 Software
(1.67) and not sure what happened? 

 

I had been operating for a few hours on RTTY and CW with my K3, KPA500 and
KAT500 with the previous version of the KAT500 Firmware (1.63). After a
while, I checked for new versions of firmware on the Elecraft site and
downloaded the latest version of KAT500 Firmware (1.67) and installed. I
also installed the latest version of K3 and P3 Firmware.   At this point I
could no longer find a tune point and even on Bypass was getting a high SWR?
This was happening on antenna's that have a low (1:1.2) SWR. I then
reinstalled the previous version 1.63. Disconnected all power to the KAT500
, after a few minutes,  reconnected power to the KAT500 and turned the power
back on.  At this point everything was working fine..no problems. 

 

I am not sure what happened? Firmware did not install properly?

 

Any suggestions?
