[Elecraft] Curious problem after installing KPA3 and KAT3

Hi Folks,

Installing the KPA3 and KAT3 is pretty straight forward.  That's why I 
don't understand what's wrong.  Looks like ANT1 and ANT2 are both open.  
I can see the leads physically connected in the right order to the 
KAT3.  The KAT3 is enabled in the menu, as is the KPA3.  But when I 
tried to run the calibration program, it says the SWR is too high.  When 
I attempt to transmit with just 5 watts, the internal SWR meter 
indicates very high SWR.

I admit that I am recovering from major surgery (with the usual 
assortment of drugs) and my brain may not be fully functional yet, but I 
can't see what I may have done wrong...

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Doug -- K0DXV
