We had a power failure, and when the power came back on, my K3 did not
see, nor key my KPA500... It was working fine just prior to the power
fail... We were not home when the power failed...
The battery backup came on line and protected the K3 from the odd power
spike, which I assume happen when a squirrel acts as a jumper for a
115KV line... But I digress...
I returned from shopping, and took a set of readings on my background
RFI levels on all bands, wrote them all down, and waited for the power
to return...
Upon power return, the KPA500 seemed totally disconnected from my K3.
No KPA500 on the K3 when it comes on, and no OPERATE message when I
switch out of standby... No keying of course either...
Some troubleshooting later, I find the data cable plugged into the AUX
connector of the K3 has dropped out... Go figure, no one was even home...
Last time I fail to screw in the locking pins...
