I noticed some things with the KPA100 that I wasn't expecting. Are these normal? 1. Power output fluctuated during a single CW TX session. I'll see the PO indicator on the K2 go up & down by 1 LED on a frequent basis (maybe switching every few seconds). Thinking that I was right on the edge of an LED transition or something, I changed the power output level. The behavior continued at the new higher power level. I also see the output power on my outboard power meter change. The changes appear to be fairly small, maybe 10 watts at the 100 watt level. Is this normal? 2. Fan came on. My shack is a chilly 62 degrees F. I set the temp in the K2 per the instructions. During a CW QSO, the fan came on about 1/2 way through my TX session and stayed on for about 1/2 of the other guy's TX session. Power out was 100 watts, SWR is flat enough to not deflect the REV meter on the Palstar. The heat sink did feel warmer than the room but no way I'd say it was hot. Is this all normal or is there an issue? - Keith N1AS - - K2 5411.ssb.100 - _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
