[Elecraft] KAT500 PC connection problem

[Mike Murray]

Bill,

Looks like that may have been the problem!  I deleted the Utility,
unplugged the KUSB cable from the computer and power cycled.  After the
restart I reinstalled the utility and plugged the KUSB back in and all
seems back to normal.  Thanks for the suggestion!

73,
