Cary: I think your problem may be related to the note at the top of page 10
in Rev B3 or the KAT500 manual. It says
IMPORTANT: If you are using the KAT500 with an Elecraft K3 transceiver
connected using DB15 cables as shown in Figure 1 or Figure 2, you must apply
power to the KAT500 before turning the K3 On. If you turn the K3 on before
applying power to the KAT500 the K3 will not be able to initialize
correctly.

blankscreen on power on
F/Up on power problem: My KAT500 is powered separately with a SEC-1223.
When I turned the SEC-1223 on to activate the KAT500, my K3 display
suddenly came to life and the power button works again - go figure!

Elecrafters: Tech support at Elecraft is closed at the moment. I had a
nice QSO with W0YY a few minutes ago and when I went to shut down the K3,
the "Power" button did not work. Tried pushing it from a variety of
angles, no dice. I powered down by turning my Astron RS-35M off - that did
the trick! After supper, I sat down for some 40 meter fun and, lo and
behold, the power button worked BUT the display is BLANK…no K4TM welcoming
message….TOTALLY BLANK!
Any ideas before Elecraft tech support comes on line for me about noon
tomorrow?
Tnx & 73,
