[Elecraft] KPA500 not responding to K3

[K8JHR]

I am a funny sort of guy.   If you cannot be sure which cable is perfect 
- replace both!  You have a $3000 Plus radio plus and a $2000 Plus amp 
and also an expensive tuner...  Sheesh... I would get two new cables 
under warranty or bite the bullet and just pay up, and sleep well at 
night.

In the mean time, you might do a continuity check on each one, checking 
it against its schematic drawing, to determine of them is perfect and 
proper and which is different from what Elecraft specifies as correct. 
  Use the perfect one, and return the broken one under warranty, or if a 
generic cable, spring for another perfect one locally and get on the air 
with confidence.  How much are they? Probably less than a pizza and a 
beer, I bet.

Just MY take, anyway...

and K3. Use the other cable from the K3 to the KPA.
