Hi Dick John and Don and thank you. I checked everything and it was good. I realized the KXPA100 did not have the current firmware, so I attempted to upgrade it. The upgrade failed, and now the utility cannot even connect to the KXPA100. I tried a different computer and same result. For now, I just unhooked the KXPA100, and I am able to drive my SG-500 to about 200 watts with the KX3 alone. I will have to revisit the amp problem. However, right now, I just received the loop and wanted to make sure it works. Thank you for your reponses. Later, I will try to communicate with the KXPA100 alone and see what I can find out. Thank you.

If so, make certain the RJ-45 plugs are fully inserted - you should hear a slight click when they are fully mated. If there is any doubt about them seating, pull back the boot on the RJ-45 cable end and push the inside connector body "home". 73, Don W3FPR On 11/4/2016 9:37 AM, Thomas Beltran wrote: > I have read some emails concerning the RS-232 connector on the KXPA100's > back panel not working with software applications that need the rig's data, > but I did not see any resolution.
