[Elecraft] Controlling KAT500/KPA500 with Icom 7610

I made up the cable from the Molex to the TUNE on the KAT500 as 
described and have checked continuity from end to end.  All OK.

I have the SEND from the 7610 connected to the PTT RLY on the KAT500.

When I change bands, nothing happens.  Is there another setting I need 
to change in the 7610?
