[Elecraft] Chronic loss of KPA-1500 USB and Ethernet Connection Within 60 seconds

[charles at k5ua.com]

For several months I have been losing the connection between the 
KPA-1500 and the computer after approximately 60 seconds of connection 
time.  This happens in both the USB and Ethernet modes in both the local 
and remote scenarios. I have to exit the software then try to reconnect 
again. It typically takes a couple of times to reconnect, but once it 
reconnects it stays connected until I am ready to shut the station down.

I would like to know if anyone else is experiencing this phenomena and 
if so, is there a solution?
