Keith, If your APP connectors do not mate with a bit of a *click*, then they are assembled incorrectly. The blades of the conductors *must* be locked over the tips of the spring fingers located in the housing.
Things come in threes so the sayings go, I have repaired 2 KPA100s in the last week which did not have the blades of the APP connector fully seated - I am waiting on the 3rd one. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/28/2012 11:10 PM, Keith Heimbold wrote: > Don, > > I am now starting to think that it is an issue with my power connectors that > I am using. > > I bought some additional ferrites and put the balun design 1113u in line to > take care of RFI but i know believe that the power connectors are a little > intermittent at times.
