Not sure what it was but I seem to have inadvertently fixed it. I took the amp out to my Jeep and hooked it up with my KX2 to my screwdriver antenna and could not reproduce the issue. I brought it back inside and hooked it back up and it is working ok, so it must have been a loose connection or something, even though I thought I had unhooked and reconnected everything...

It may not be in the shack. Look for something that arcs over at higher power or a loose connector or a balun that has failed. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/22/2017 11:36 AM, E T wrote: > Today my KXPA100 stopped working properly.
