[Elecraft] KAT500 remote

[Gordon LaPoint]

I use the KAT500 remote software and it works great. I have only one 
problem with it, I can not tell if the power is on or off. This matters 
because when the remote site looses power the state of the KAT500 is 
unknown and the program does not indicate if the power is ON or OFF.  Is 
there a way to tell?

I can keep trying the POWER button then the TUNE button until it works, 
but it would be much better for a positive indication of the power state 
by button color or some other indication in the application.

I have set the "Initial Power" in the KAT500 utility to be "Power On" 
when DC  is applied, but not sure this is always observed.  I have no 
other way to see the remote site when this happens.

Any suggestions?
