[Elecraft] My KAT500 is sick :(

[Michael Eberle]

Hi Scott,

The first thing I would do is make sure the PC cable did not get plugged 
into the TUNE port rather than the PC DATA port.  I would also 
disconnect the 15-pin connector from the K3 and try communicating with 
the utility.  This would rule out any possibility of something with the 
K3 or accessory cable causing problems.
