Hi to the group

I am in the final phases of finishing my KPA100, version "C" with upgrade kit for "D".version. Manual page 46 (version C manual) External Amplifier Keying Test (PA KEY),

right hand column, step 2, "measure ground to Q9 tab. Result as noted in the manual.

right hand column step 3, Hold TUNE. When I do this the DMM reads 3.2 Ohm, as noted in the manual, but as soon as the reading starts, when holding TUNE, the Ohm reading starts to increase, at a steady pace. At around 8.9 or 9.2 Ohm the fuse in my power supply, 20 Amps, went, replaced it with a 25 Amps, did test again and this time the 20 Amp fuse in the power cord went,

There was no smoke or smell at the time this happened. I did have my 50 Ohms dummy Load attached to the antenna as a precaution.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks, Hank WA9QJH
