Got the KPA500 back from Elecraft. Problem found: L22 and other components in the 60M low pass filter circuit burnt through the LPF PCB. Repair $650 later: Replaced low pass filter module and installed QSK mod.
On the phone I asked what caused the failure, answer was no idea other than component failure. I understand stuff fails but I thought I would get more than 2 years before a major expensive failure. Previously had a Ameritron ALS-600 for 5+ years never a problem, sold it to purchase the KPA500. Sometimes the grass is not greener.
