John,
I consider myself a bit of an expert in the multiple error messages on
start-up front! (do a search here on my callsign...)
After many months of headscratching, removing/replacing modules and even
replacing chips, it turns out in my case to be poor contacts in some of the
pins of the front

This is odd. Just finished a QSO with J5UAP on 30m this evening and
then switched over to 40m to pursue some more DX. When I got there, I
wasn't able to get any power out. It showed 0.0W when I tried to TUNE
(I have a remote tuner at the base of my vertical).
I power cycled the radio and then
Add to this the fact that the radio now is only putting out 12W
instead of 100W. :-(
Thanks for any assistance.

That was my first thought, Ron.
I had previously had my TUN PWR set to 25W, but when I looked at that
menu item it was set to 12W. I had not changed the setting.
The KPA100 was no offline in the config menu at all.
I reflashed the firmware and now it's all working, I think. The
LP-100A
Doing that now. Thanks, Gary.

Just did the TX GAIN CONFIG and I'm getting only ~80W into the dummy
load on all bands. Hmmm.
Thoughts?
Maybe my LP-100A is poorly aligned, but I don't think so...

OK. I'm really going to bed now--but before I do I noticed that I can
turn the TX ALC 'off' in the CONFIG menu and manually adjust the TXGN
HP for each band to achieve the 100W into the dummy load (as measured
through the LP-100A).
Is this advisable?

TX ALC should work in the OFF position just fine. I don't use ALC on the
KPA_500 anyway so it should be fine.
