What happens with a dummy load? If it doesn’t fail, then the problem is in the antenna. The KPA may be more sensitive to a short period of high SWR than the K3. Victor 4X6GP > On 27 Sep 2019, at 8:26, Peter Dougherty wrote: > > My KPA is once again repeatedly failing on 160m. I haven't used

[Elecraft] KPA-1500 failing on 160...AGAIN!

2019-09-26 Thread Peter Dougherty
My KPA is once again repeatedly failing on 160m. I haven't used it on Topband since about the end of March, when it was fine. My antenna is checking out fine on my AA-230 ZOOM analyzer, and I can run 100W into the antenna from the K3s with no problem. I'm getting FAULT: PWR REFL on every keydown
