[Elecraft] KAT 500

[Don Wilhelm]

Bob,

Have you selected the correct COM port in KAT500 Utility?
I assume the usual USB to serial adapter - are the drivers loaded? That 
is almost automatic on Windows 7/8 or on the MAC OS, but other operating 
systems may require some additional attention.

If you are unsure of the COM port, go to device manager and see which 
COM ports are assigned.  If there are several, try unplugging the 
adapter and see which one goes away - then plug it in and see which COM 
port is added.  Select that COM port in KAT500 Utility and see if it 
connects.

If that does not help, I suggest contacting support at elecraft.com to see 
if you might have a KAT500 problem.

73,
Don W3FPR
