[Elecraft] [KPA500] stuck on TX when AUXBUS attached

[Gary Gregory]

*Art

The Auxbus cable without the adapter carries the PTT function also so maybe
that is also an issue that FW may not be able to change?

With the addition of the KAT500 into the K-Line this may become even more
difficult as the Auxbus cable will run from the K3 to the KAT500 and then
to the KPA500 to enable really tight integration of the K-Line and this may
also make a FW option in the KPA500 difficult.

Just thinking.......Jack may jump back in and comment?
