[Elecraft] Strange KAT500 Firmware Issue

[Mark E. Musick]

If the KPA500 utility connected to the KAT500, I think whoever at Elecraft
maintains the utility software needs to add some code to prevent that from
happening.

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
