[Elecraft] KAT500 Utility Problem (Mac)

[John Woodard]

I'm a proud new owner of a KAT500 and KPA500 and trying to get them set up.
I am following the 5 page Set Up and Configuration guide from Elecraft, and
after getting the cables connected, I tried running the KAT500 Utility.
Unfortunately, the program seems to hang, as I see a window that says
Initializing..., but nothing further happens. I have to Force Quit the
program to move along.

I've tried relocating the USB connector to different ports, but still no
joy. The computer does seem to be able to talk to the KAT500 if I use Tom
Lindner's DL2RUM KAT500UI software. So, I'm guessing there is something
with the KAT500 Utility that is not working on my computer.

My computer is a brand new iMac 27" 2017 running High Sierra macOS 10.13.3.
I'll be grateful for any tips or suggestions.
