[Elecraft] KPA500 not reading Band Data

[w0uo]

Elecrafters:

 

I just installed a "Y" cable from my K-3 to an Array Solutions DBS-1 band
decoder and my KPA 500.  The band decoder follows the K-3 perfectly, but the
K-3 doesn't read band data.  It does tell the K-3 when it is on standby and
operate and the K-3 sets the power level accordingly.  From this I assume
that it is not reading the four band data pins (when powered up it reads 5.3
MHz, all logic zeroes, and does not change until it senses RF).  

 

Has anyone had the same or similar problem and found a solution?
