[Elecraft] KPA-1500 issue (power surge?)

[Jim Cary]

I posted a note yesterday that I took a power surge which knocked out my PC and couldn’t connect to my K3S.  Thanks to all the input for you guys, it would appear that the IO board on the K3S got fried.  Still to be confirmed, but strongly suspect true.

I figured I better check out the KPA-1500, and sure enough the KPA-1500 utility came up with the error message shown in the attachment.

Does this indicate there is a problem with the COM port on the PC, or with the 1500?
