Re: [Elecraft] KPA 1500 HELP!!
Sounds like one of the LDMOS devices may have let out the magic smoke. Contact support so they may properly troubleshoot the issue with you.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA 1500 HELP!!
Ted, Make sure the large red/black cables are pushed on all the way. You should feel a double click. If the light still is red suggest you contact Elecraft support.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA 1500 HELP!!
Is there any chance that the 50V heavy gauge Red/Black cable is not firmly seated? The 75A Anderson Power pole connectors require a good firm push to seat completely. I've heard of a few cases where the connection was intermittent because it wasn't completely seated. 73 de Dick, K6KR -Original Message- From: [email protected] On Behalf Of Salvatore ["Ted"] K2QMF Sent: Saturday, July 25, 2020 10:39 To: Elecraft Support ; [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] KPA 1500 HELP!!
