Dick, That's exactly what happened....after a lot of detective work, I determined that my Ameriton remote switch is being flakey. It started to act up in the RTTY contest. After the CQWW RTTY contest, I am going to take it apart and check out what is happening......
So at least I know my KAT500 is working fine.

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?
