Please share if possible. I'm having similar problems with my KAT500. Locks
up for no discernable reason, can't power down. Removing power for just a
few seconds and it's back to normal until the next random lockup.

In my case I'm feeding frequency info to the KAT500 from a RemoteQTH Band
decoder II. I'm running  KAT500/KPA500 combo with an IC7610.

Lockups seem to be totally random but the behavior just started recently,
the setup has been in place for over a year

Thanks,
Jim/KK1W.
