I just got the KX1 for Christmas from my XYL and found that L9 was supposed to 
be a micro sized 100 uH device.  The one I have is a mini size, not micro.  The 
board layout was for the micro as well.  I contacted Elecraft and they told me 
that the micro size is no longer available so that is the part to use.  They 
also forwarded a link for how to install the inductor:

I'm not sure if this applies to your KPA100, though, but thought I would share 
some possibility of the same issue.

KX1 1644 (some assembly required, HI HI!)
