[Elecraft] Strange KAT500 Firmware Issue

[Carl Jón Denbow]

OK, I figured out what I did.  Somehow I managed to use the KPA500 
Utility to connect to my KAT500.  It actually worked and downloaded the 
KAT500 firmware and installed it.  I was, of course, on a different 
port, but I didn't pay close enough attention to the which unit was 
using which port.  Thanks for all of your feedback.  73 de Carl N8VZ
