I am using CW in SSB mode in my K3. After changing frequency or band I tap my paddle to tune the KAT500 to the new memorized frequency. When I was using KAT500 F/W v1.42, I could use the dot side of the paddle to bring the KAT500 to the new memory frequency. When I programmed F/W v1.54 and tapped the dot side of the paddle, the KAT500 would go into bypass mode (the KAT500 AUTO LED would start blinking). The KPA500 did not like this and refused to amplify or go crazy. I now tap the dash side of the paddle, and the KAT500 likes the extra length of RF and makes the necessary changes to work correctly. Apparently the CW dot did not provide enough time for the KAT500 to complete the necessary parameters to work properly. All is well now, and I thought I would share this with everybody.
