I just went back and read Sam's original post. Both KPA and KAT are affected. This comes form the info that the KAT is not following the K3 frequency, info that only goes through the AuxBus. The problem is either the cable from the K3 to the KAT, or somehow the AuxBus has been disabled in the K3. I don't think the latter is possible. We know that the band lines on the AUX cable are working just fine since both KAT and KPA follow the K3 band. both boxes get the band from the BAND lines and not the AuxBus (note for Sam - the KPA does not listen to the AuxBus, only talks. The KAT does both). So, check the cable from the K3 to the KAT. Pin 2 appears not to be conveying data. You might want to pull it and ohm it out. Also note that this must not be a VGA cable, but a straight-through connection with no lines shorted together. But you already knew that... We will get you going shortly. Intermittent are number 1 on the devil's list... 73, JackB, W6FB
