[Elecraft] KAT500 Locking up and not tuning

Dear All

I am getting a strange happening that my KAT500 does not want to tune on 
an intermittent basis.

It gives me a high SWR and just hangs with the auto light blinking.   I 
wind up turning it on and off multiple times and then suddenly it works 
again.   I will happen randomly on any of the three antenna inputs.  It 
will however tune on the other antenna inputs.

I am running the current version of software.

Not sure how to describe it better but it makes no difference if I try 
and force a tune from the software or front buttons or it tries to auto 
tune.

Thanks in advance for any ideas on what to look for.
