Gary,

Yes I'm aware of that but thanks for reminding me. Having an RMA first is
definitely the proper procedure.

Barry,
I had the same thing here a few weeks ago. I found that I had no output
from my LPA board. It is now at Elecraft being serviced but I have yet
to hear the final resolution. It has only been in service for a week or so.
I used a scope and did some signal tracing and found that I had RF
BTW - some of the obvious things to check first would be to insure you
aren't in test mode or that the TX INH pin is not set or floating (check
in the Config menu).

I just went through the same thing here. It turned out to that I had no

not heard from them yet as to the exact cause

Hey Barry,
If you are so inclined, you might try re-seating the LPA board. I did read a
couple of instances where that cleared up the problem. Although, it did not
clear mine up :-(
Either way, it you wouldn't mind, please post back your findings. I'd

Besides, you should *never* just send an Elecraft radio to Watsonville
for repair.
There are repair depots all over the globe.
Contact support, and if warranted, they will request an RSA number for
you. When you get the email with the RSA form, fill it out and read the
2nd page to find out
Thanks to K3IU, Fred Roger. Exactly what I wanted to know.

I think that is by design that it tunes at 5 watts to get a good matchso it
can take the 100 watts into a properly tuned match. I think the tuner would
have an issue at 100 watts at 4:1. But it doesn't have an issue a 5 watts.
If you go to XMIT.after you run the
16 matches
