I blame the squirrel.

We had a power failure, and when the power came back on, my K3 did not

 see, nor key my KPA500... It was working fine just prior to the power

 fail... We were not home when the power failed...

 The battery backup came on line and protected the K3 from the odd
power 
 spike, which I assume happen when a squirrel acts as a jumper for a 
 115KV line... But I digress...

 I returned from shopping, and took a set of readings on my background

 RFI levels on all bands, wrote them all down, and waited for the
power 
 to return...

 Upon power return, the KPA500 seemed totally disconnected from my K3.

 No KPA500 on the K3 when it comes on, and no OPERATE message when I 
 switch out of standby... No keying of course either...

 Some troubleshooting later, I find the data cable plugged into the
AUX 
 connector of the K3 has dropped out... Go figure, no one was even
home...

 Last time I fail to screw in the locking pins...
