I unseated and reseated the KAT500 to KPA500 Cable. On 12/22/2014 8:24 AM, Sam Morgan wrote:
My K3-KAT500-KPA500 has been working fine for 5 weeks now. (added the KPA500 Nov. 10, 2014) Last night I had to move some cables around with in the rats nest behind my K3. Unrelated cables, so I thought, they were for the VGA output for the P3 to add a data switch before the external monitor. After the move everything was still working just as it should. I shut down for the night. When I turned everything on this morning the K-Line has started acting strange. The K3 no longer flashes the KPA500 line across the VFO B window. I have CONFIG: PWR SET = Per Band, *BUT* the K3 no longer has 2 power settings (one for KPA500 in op and one for KPA500 in stby) However the KPA500 *does* change bands with the K3's change of Bands. The K3 does flash the KAT500 line in the VFO B window. The KAT500 does change antennas as related to the band it is on. The KAT500 no longer knows I have moved the K3's frequency within a band, so no longer (pretunes) to that new frequency. and Yes CONFIG: KAT3 shows KAT500y The KAT500 tunes fine when it is in AUTO and sees rf. I even went back to a previously saved K3 configuration. I unseated and reseated the KAT500 to KAT500 Cable. To summarize, I have lose the safety feature of the K3 knowing it has a KPA500 so it doesn't have 2 drive levels, and the KAT500 no longer pretunes to a new frequency when the K3 is moved to the new frequency within the same band. Yet it seems some parts of the K-Line are still communicating with each other. Any suggestions appreciated.
