I just finished my KPA500 and am having some trouble.
I'm using it with a K3 and the Aux cable.
It powers up fine. HV is 73.0, FAN CTL doesn't turn fans on.
The fan does not run when I turn it off as stated in the manual.
The KPA500 utility can't connect with it.
Using the same cable I can use
Regarding the fan: Pull the top cover and make sure the fan's power
cable is plugged in. It is easy to unplug the fan power while
installing the rear panel.

Help:
All is well in Zion!
Thanks to all you Elecrafters for your help.
I took off the transformer and looked at the I/O board.
The 10 wire ribbon cable was loose. How the H did that happen?
Well, I pushed it down - reassembled and it appears to be working FB.
The nice thing is I was not at all

Hi David:
Have you noticed that most Elecraft gear has very little excess room inside?
For those who try to find things to pack into the empty area of the P3 I
suggest they wait a bit. It'll fill up :-)
Many skip the inventory but doing it is always an excellent idea. It doesn't
take all that

When I built my K3 I went to the craft store and bought a plastic box with
the dividers. I have an
Dymo label printer and printed out a label for each screw and put it in the
divider with each size
screw. Worked well
I used (and still do, when I need to separate and classify small parts)
I bought a fisherman's fly box with a variety of clear plastic dividers
and pockets of various sizes - Walmart is your friend hi

I like covers. I can close containers and set them aside as needed, even
stacking them out of the way.

Tony,
Your cookie sheet is an OK idea, but it gives me cause to insert one of
my safety hot spots.
When working on a fully conductive surface, keep all power sources at a
safe distance (at least 1 foot greater than your reach). That goes for
even 9 volt batteries and 13.8 power sources, and
