Re: [Elecraft] Fwd: KPA1500 problem

It's been said before. Check your cables and connectors for arcing. It won't happen with lower power but as the voltage goes up with higher power it may arc across a bad cable or connector. Possibly even in a tuner. Can you test with different cables or a dummy load? 73, Mark On Sun, Dec 30,
