Re: [Elecraft] K2+KPA100 hi current and hi output

Andre, Do you have any power control? To check set the power to about 50 watts and do a TUNE. Measure the actual power output with an in-line wattmeter and a 50 ohm dummy load. If it still goes to 160 watts, you do not have any power control. The usual reason is the diodes D16 and D17

Re: [Elecraft] K2+KPA100 hi current and hi output

Hi, Andre - I wonder if it's a problem with blown D16 and D17 in the KPA100. If you follow this forum on-line at nabble.com, you can do a search for "D16" and see many postings on the topic. Good luck. - Bruce K1FFX - Bruce Rosen K1FFX K2/100 6982 KSB2 KAT100-1 KAF2 KIO2 -- Sent from:

[Elecraft] K2+KPA100 hi current and hi output

Dear All, I gave a new home to a K2 + (KPA100+KAT100 in EC 2), ser#>5000. The K2 on its own is runnung fine. When I connect to the KPA+KAT I get HiCur warning (on initiating TX) on all bands with POW>10W. This also happens when I transmit into a dummy load. I measured the output from the
