I solved this by plugging in the cables one at a time. All utilities working fine now. New problem: On 6 meters, with the input power to the KPA500 around 7 watts, I get 200 watts out. But as I increase the input power, the SWR increases and a “hi swr” fault occurs. This happens with 3 different antennas: a 3 el beam, an R8 vertical, and a dipole. All are tuned to low swr via my KAT500. I have tried connected the beam directly to the KPA with the same result. This only happens on 6 meters. It used to work fine when I had a K3. I now have a K3S. Is there some setting in either the K3S or the KPA that I should change? Carl Yaffey K8NU Recording studio.
