[Elecraft] Intermittent KPA-1500 SWR problem

Readers may recall that I had been asking for help with an intermittent 
problem causing my KPA-1500 to trip due to high SWR.  It would happen 
3-4 times in 10 minutes and then not happen again for hours.

A couple of weeks ago, a local KPA-1500 owner suggested that the problem 
was due to a timing error in the T/R switching of the 1500, and 
suggested I address this by reverting to version 2.58 firmware instead 
of the latest release.  I did so, and since then I have had not a single 
recurrence.

If this is a known issue, I wonder why it hasn't been fixed in the later 
releases?
