Ray,
Does the power light on the KXPA100 turn on when you power on the KX3?
I am not sure about your statements about "all the power it produces is
being dissipated"
Dissipated where? Into power output or into heat? Does the heatsink
heat up?
Similarly, your statement about "no power dissipated" when in basic mode.
Can you connect an external wattmeter and a dummy load, put the KXAT100
into bypass and see what the KXPA100 is really producing. That more
detailed information will aid in answering your question. If you can
measure the current draw and voltage during keydown that would help even
more.

Further to my last email, when I am in Basic mode, with PA MODE set to
OFF and the KXPA100 on/off switch set to ON, I get full power out and
no dissipation. When PA MODE is ON and the on/off switch set to OFF,
the KX3 acts like the KXPA100 is connected to it but there is no power
output from the KXPA100 but all the power it produces is being
dissipated. Some setting is probably wrong, but I can't figure out
which one.
