If you worked us on CW, that was my K-Line. K3 #486, still banging out the
QSOs after 6 years on the air.
Funny that the subject of hats came up on the reflector. Thanks to Lisa for
preserving my prized Tilley hat that I accidentally left at their booth
overnight. I removed it while I was showing

Slava,
You should "train" your tuner. Do it on each band segment for each
antenna that you will use.
Once that is accomplished, put the KAT500 into Manual and it will not
try to re-tune based on the RF.
The problem is particularly susceptible to false re-tuning for SSB. Due

I wore my hat at every one of my son-in-law's singles and doubles matches
in the NC Men's Am Tennis tournament for 5 straight days/nights this week.
I was really proud when people asked me what my hat meant. If you have
one of these, you have a special hat no matter how you got it.

Do *NOT* plug the KUSB directly into the K2 AUX I/O connector. You must

Where do you get stuck?
Did you select K2/K3 in the TRX 1 section of RUMlog preferences? Does
your USB adaptor show in that page?
If so, did you go to the Transceiver drop down and select Relinit TRX1 ?

I'd start by checking ALL wire connections. Be sure you have fuse block
connected properly for your input voltage and proper fuses are installed.
Call Elecraft first thing tomorrow for assistance.
Good luck!
