What happens, if the screws get loose and you don't tighten them, is the finals fail due to over heating when they no longer make good, solid thermal contact with the heat sink.
Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- Hi Tom, NG3V I built my KPA 100 in Jan/Feb 2007 I still haven't reset the mounting screws and haven't had any problems sofar, my K2/100 just works fine business mainly from the car /m at full power. Sometime soon I'm intending to check out the filter alignment etc so will check those screws in the KPA 100 then. 73 Rob G3RCE K2 #5219 -------------------- _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
