[Elecraft] KAT500

[markmusick at sbcglobal.net]

The issue Bill is referring to about the KAT500 having to be powered on
before the K3 was fixed several firmware versions back. I don't remember
which version it was, but it is in the release notes.
You no longer have to turn the KAT500 on before the K3/K3S.
