[Elecraft] KPA500 won't key on 6 meters

[Brian F. Wruble]

Well, it worked for little awhile then stopped.  If I go direct from the K3
to the KPA500 without running the control cable through the KAT500, it
works.  I restored the last working configuration file to the KAT500, but
that made no difference.

I have not locked out 6M in the band map menu.  Every band keys properly
with the control lines running through the KAT500 and then to the KPA500,
except 6 meters.

Ideas???
