Yes, that was the problem when it happened to me. It was a cable problem
that was inadvertently closing the key in ("PA Key") input on the back of
the KPA500. Clearing that up restored normal operation.

Hi Barry,
There is an asterisk that appears on the left side of the KPA500 display
whenever the key out signal from your transmitter is present. You should not
see the asterisk when you are receiving. If you are then is it possible that
you are using the key out signal to operate some other device in addition to
the KPA500?

My KPA500 has just developed an issue. Specifically when I switch it from
Stby to Oper, the level of received signals drops by around 5 or 6 s
points. It still transmits fine and there are no adverse SWR indications
or
loose co-ax plugs. It does the same on all bands. I switch back to Stby
and
the received signals return to normal.
I seem to recall that someone else posted details of a similar such
problem
some time ago. Any suggestions would be helpful before I email the
Elecraft
hot line.
