"The leads of the resistor look like they are bent at the end as if it was soldered to surface of the board" I suspect you are right. I looked at the (perhaps intentionally) out of focus FCC photos and I see a wire ended resistor bridging surface mount pads in the lower left of the "Bottom

Hi Andy The amp appears to be working properly. The leads of the resistor look like they are bent at the end as if it was soldered to surface of the board and not through hole. Will be interesting what comes out of this. Dave wo2x Sent from my waxed string and tin cans. > On Jan 20,

"I've looked at the boards and cannot see where it came off. I also looked at the pictures Elecraft submitted to the FCC and they do not show it." What doesn't work that used to work? If nothing, then maybe they slipped it in there just to confuse you. From the photo it looks as though it

Hi All Went to move the amp today and heard something loose in the PA deck on the KPA1500. I removed the bottom cover to find a 3 K Ohm, 3 watt resistor laying loose to the side of the PA board. There is indication that the resistor has been heated. Checking the resistor with my Fluke 77 shows
