[Elecraft] KPA500 Serial Port Problem

[David Mitchell]

I  bought an KPA 500 this fall and just started using it because my antenna
was down from the hurricaine.  I can't get the serial port to communicate
with my computer.  I bought two of the UISB to serial cables with the FTDI
chipset, which I KNOW work because my Winkeyer uses one, and neither one
could find my amp.  I then bought a two port PCI serial card and a
conventiional cable and could not connect using that setup, even though
Windows XP says that all the ports are working properly.

Any suggestions are appreciated.  I might just have a bad serial board and
the amp should still be under warranty.
