I recently got my K2 serviced and updated. I was told by the
technician that I needed to tighten the mounting screws on Q1 and Q2
after 10 to 12 hours of use. Failure to do so could destroy the
transitors. I have read the KPA/100 manual and it says to tighten
these mounting screws after initial use. My radio is 6 years old.
Do I still have to try and remove the board to tighten these mounting
screws periodically when using high power(100 watts).
No, it only has to be done once after initial assembly or whenever the
transistors have been removed.
If so needed,
can I access these mounting screws easily or do I have to remove the
KPA100 PCB?
You need to take the shield off of the KPA100, but you do not need to
remove the board.
