[Elecraft] KAT500 lost serial comms - try factory defaults?

"2. What antennas are enabled after a factory reset?"

On all bands ANT 1, 2, and 3 are enabled and "preferred" is set to "last used"

I don't know what the Utility sends for "Reset Configuration".  The documented reset command is:

RSTx (Reset, SET only)
SET format: RST0; or RST1;
RST0; resets the microcontroller without saving state in EEPROM. This is equivalent to removing the power plug and plugging it back in again. RST1; simulates pressing the power off button which saves current state in EEPROM before reset.
RST may be ignored while transmitting.

Neither RST0; nor RST1; appear to clear the memorized settings so I suspect the Utility uses another command.  Now I may have to find out what that is ....
