Eric,

What is the chance that the transceiver and amplifier are 'spiking' at 
keydown time.  That can cause a fault in the KAT500.  Try turning the 
power down and see if it continues.

Do you have the K3 and KPA500 as well?  If so, does the KAT500 fault 
when they are used?

Here are the KAT500's parameters: f=7032, VSWR 1.13, BYPASS VSWR 1.8, TUNE STATE 0 9 20 1.13, fm 1.67.  Any idea what is going on?
