Have you perused the Elecraft web site? At the top in the black band on the right there is a “hamburger” (3 horizontal lines.) If you click there and select “Support” you will see well thought out and well laid out procedures for asking for help from Elecraft and if the worst should happen, procedures to effect a return of your amp for repair. > On Aug 13, 2021, at 06:46, Carter Craigie wrote: > > My thanks to the three fine Elecrafters who sent me suggestions to fix my > KXPA100 amplifier.

My thanks to the three fine Elecrafters who sent me suggestions to fix my KXPA100 amplifier. I tried their suggestions, but no joy. The problem I have? After months of fine operation in my garage “Summer Station” I moved my whole station inside where the air conditioning is. Out in the garage was just too darn hot! Well, I guess “something” changed when I reassembled my KX3 and my PX3 and the KXPA100, as the Amp slowly started putting out fewer and fewer Watts; finally, it “gave up the ghost” and declined to turn on again, after about a ten-second flashing of LEDs.
