The KAT100 needs both the 12 volt power connection *and* the 12CTRL
signal from the K2 to power itself on.
So yes, you need the control cable plugged from the base K2 (or KPA100)
to the KAT100 before you will see any lights. The control cable is
shown in the KAT100 manual.

I recently purchased a used KAT100. Not sure how to interpret a possible
failing condition at Power UP time. Stupid Question: If I simply connect
12VDC to the DC power input jack on the KAT100 (without the K2 physically
connected), should I see the lights eliminated on the KAT100? Reason I ask
is because at one time during my initial hookup I seem to recall the lights
on, but now they are not. Don't know if possibly my interface cable had a
shorted connection, or what. Nonetheless, before I re-cable and try again,
I just needed to ask if I might have a problem in which the lights do not
come on. Upon close inspection of the interface cable I think I located a
shorted connection at the KAT100 connection. I removed that shorted
condition but I feel hesitant to plug in a try the operational status of the
setup. Can anyone please tell me if the KAT100 lights illuminate when the
12VDC power is connected, or must the unit be calbed to the K2?
