Yes, I suppose something may just need a slight adjustment. It just
frustrates me when things don't work like I expect them to. I was
always afraid to run JT65 at more than 80-100 watts until I saw this
post. Started trying higher power while keeping a close eye on the
temp. No faults on any band but 6M if it gets much over 200 watts (8
watts drive). It seems to be running 450 watts easily on 160M.

Don't do it! If you can't get an answer here, contact Elecraft support. Your
KPA500 will work great on 6m once you get this issue resolved. Mine runs at
600w on 6m meteor scatter using FSK441 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off, for hours
on end, hitting 65C but soldiering on without complaint. That would leave my
former dual 3-500Z amp squeaking from the freaking.

During KPA500 beta, I was loaned one for a major RTTY contest weekend
and told to run it "with all the lights lit." I did, and it worked fine.
In the 3-4 years I've owned one, I regularly run it at full power in
digital modes on all bands, 160-6M. When it gets warm, the fan speeds
up, but it continues to put out full power. This includes digital modes
like FSK441 and JT65A on 6M, and lots of RTTY on the HF bands.
