I guess the question is " Is it the KAT500?" or "Is it the USB to serial
Adapter"?
To answer this question if you do not have an additional USB Serial to 3.5mm
plug, you could just take a regular USB to serial, attach a serial cable,
cut the cable and determine the ground, transmit and receive wires, and then
wire them up to a 3.5mm plug. Check out the pin outs in the KPA500 manuals.
The biggest pain here if you do not have a spare USB Serial to 3.5mm, then
you have to wait for a replacement before you know.
At least this way you can find out sooner which device is at fault.

when i plug in the serial/usb cable, a new com port, com4 appears in the
list of com ports. however, the kat500 utility cannot complete the
handshake when trying to connect to the new com4. i checked the plug in
the back, and it appears to be all the way in.
advice and suggestions appreciated.
