Much thanks for the replies . issue solved.
One of the replies suggested checking the Interlock switch, which caused me to wonder if the top cover had to be on the unit before trying this voltage test . sure enough it does . and now the test has a good result. The kit instructions (page 43) directed me to the Owner's manual and the voltage test BEFORE installing the top. The Owner's manual (page 6 top after fuse installation) directs one to the "Test the power supply voltage ." section on page 7, still no mention of installing the top. And . there's no direction to make sure the top is on the amp in the "Test the power supply voltage . " section! I'm getting a good laugh out of this. But I DO HOPE ELECRAFT WILL UPDATE THE MANUALS or point out to me what I missed! Brian KD0HII Just "finished" building the KPA500 kit and ran the "Test the power supply voltage." on page 7 of the owner's manual. The result of the HV test is that the LCD indicates the voltage to be .1, nowhere near the 65-85 indicated as required. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
