I just fixed a very similar problem with my station - I could run 100
watts to my Carolina Windom all day, but it failed instantly at 1500
watts. The problem turned out to be a very nice-looking
factory-installed PL-259 feeding the antenna. Looking inside revealed
carbon tracking, etc., so out it went.

I would request that any solution one finds for their KPA-1500 failing, be
posted on this forum, even if it's (typically like me) cockpit error.
We have seen many "My KPA-1500 died" listings.
These are obviously quite disconcerting to us potential buyers (again like
me).
Often, the original poster later replies that a squirrel, or something ate
the coax or, got fried across the feed point, etc., completely exonerating
Elecraft (whew !).
Occasionally it IS a production fault that is fixed (promptly) under
warranty.
PLEASE let us know about the fix and don't leave us hanging.
