I must admit that when field testing the kat500, turning on the k3 DID cause a real issue, not heard of any change to that. However, the other day I turned the k3 on before I noticed the kat500 was not powered up. Thinking, oh what the heck, I hit the power on and all was well. Not wishing to

Why powered? Because motherboard USB ports are limited to 100ma current draw at computer startup. Then once they reach 93% of rated voltage the limit goes to 500ma. Maximum power draw for any one port is 2.25 watts. With an unpowered hub all connected devices share the current/power limit.

Hi All, Today I have the S-5 segment stuck on my KX3 display. That is also the SWR 2 segment. What I mean is the segment is black with no receive signal, while the segments to the left of it are not black, and there is no transmission going on. Reloading the firmware didn't help. Any ideas?
