[Elecraft] from John K3JK

John,

Remove the KAT100 AUX I/O cable and see if you can connect.  If so, the 
problem is in the KAT100 or its cable to the K2.
There is likely something that you inadvertently touched (and changed) 
in the KAT100 during the firmware upgrade.  The N4PY software (and HRD) 
do not use any of the signals that are required for K2 to KAT100 
communication, but the conductors involved do come near one another in 
the cable that attaches to the K2, so you may find your problem there.

There is one quite simple thing to check first - the cable plugging 
between the KAT100 and the K2 - the housing with the 2 cables attached 
must connect to the K2 - if that connector is found on your KAT100, your 
K2 to computer communications will not work because there are no wires 
present for the two  RS-232 signals.

73,
Don W3FPR
