Hello Elecrafters
Thanks for your time on this, & I hope to find you all in good health My setup is K3+KPA500+KAT500. Sometime ago due to probably high SWR (water in the Pl259 leading to KAT-500) the KPA-500 stopped after a loud noise (can't tell whether KPA or KAT) was heard. When I reset it & checked all bands into a dummy load (no tuner), It delivered half the regular output power on all bands. (25w in for appx. 150w out). I don't know if this means 1 side of the PA is gone, or is there some 3db pad connected permanently. Any ideas for test procedures? Also how safe (forbidden?) is it to operate the amp in this "half-power" condition? Thanks in advance, Isaac, 4Z1TL KPA SN 01090 -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
