I have to thank the folks at Elecraft design... I was running a full
500 watts out of my KPA500 this morning, when we took a power hit,
during transmit! AC Line dropped, then came back on line, and dropped
again, then returned again... Not a clean power fail. Once the power
came back on, I was VERY worried that the amp may have been damaged...
Nope, the KPA500 came right back up working just fine! So THANK YOU for
the safety's built into the KPA500! The K3, P3, Icom IC-5100, and both
computers and monitors were on a UPS, so they never saw the power hit.
The funny part is that I changed UPS batteries yesterday, because the
UPS only held for a second or so. It would not have held during this
power hit, had I not changed batteries...
In any case, the KPA500 is one well built amp...
