Two things I've noted with my KAT500 PC comms that you might want to quickly check:
1. More than once I've forgotten to stop the "KAT500 Remote" app before running the KAT500 Utility app. Since the Remote app is using the com port, it has to be stopped first. 2. That plug in the rear of the KAT500 can get partially unplugged with one more "click" needed to seat it fully and make it work. If that is the case, neither the Remote or Utility apps will be working. These have both caught me a few times, hope it is one of them since they are a quick fix. 73 de Chuck, WS1L chandler...@gmail.com On Mon, Mar 11, 2024 at 10:56 PM Mike Dodd <m...@mdodd.com> wrote: > On 3/11/2024 10:40 PM, Mike / K5JR wrote: > > The KAT serial port is MONO, not STEREO, as I (not so quickly) > > discovered.... > > Good to know.
