Not necessarily.  If the LED is shorted (admittedly a less likely possibility) it won't have any (or at least very little) voltage across it ... just as if its drive circuitry was bad. Having been an engineer responsible for some LED product lines in the long distant past, I would say that t

Measure the voltage across the LED when it’s supposed to be on and off. That will tell you whether the LED or something else is at fault. Victor 4X6GP > On 10 Jul 2020, at 7:25, W4RAM wrote: > > Good morning, > I am looking for your advice with the follow issue: > > D1 LED in my K1 does not

No I didn't try to reload the firmware.  I was afraid that if the EEPROM was damaged, a firmware update might not be successful, and leave me with an inoperative (bricked) KAT500.  According to their web page, Elecraft is not servicing KAT500's due to COVID-19 limited operations.  Currently, ou

You mention that you ran the "KAT500 Configuration Software" but you didn't say that you tried to reload the firmware. Have you tried to RELOAD the firmware? If you didn't reload the firmware, then I would suggest that you give that a try. 73, Ken K3IU ~~
