    I can see that on your KPA500, the radio is sending commends to the KPA500, but the KPA500 is not responding.  

    This is why you need a null modem cable on the KPA500.

    I do have a null modem adapter on the FTDI cable to the KPA500. The 500 is set to radio-serial, serial pol-on and RS232 x 9600. Still not talking.

    Retract your elements then do a calibration twice. That should fix it. Any arrows stored on the controller?

    The calibration worked but the antenna no longer tracks. AutoTrk is on BTW. This is so frustrating.

    After I reset the radio i found that the baud on the rig USB was set to 38400. Once I found that I put it back to 9600 and all is good. 

    This is so nice being out of the ham shack dungeon and in the living room with the wife. Now she is less of a radio widow.
