Gary,

When you tap ANT1/2, do you hear a relay switching in the KAT2? If not, the
control cable between the KAT2 and Control board is probably disconnected,
plugged in wrong, or has a broken wire. If you do hear a relay switch switch,
the KAT2 is probably connect right but may be in CALP mode rather than AUTO mode
(ATU menu entry).
