HI guys,
I'm still having a serious problem on 80m with my KPA1500.

With the amp inline I'm getting high reflected power fault everywhere below
about 3675. My antenna (an inverted vee) is resonant at 3550, and the SWR is
below 2:1 from 3500 to 3630.

Hi Peter,

The KPA 1500 has a built-in antenna tuner. Is it possible that it's not set up, or is not set up correctly, or is not being used correctly?  Perhaps the wrong operating mode for it, or it's calling up wrong memorized settings?  I don't own one, but borrowed one from K6XX while he was at WRTC. I mostly used it on 6M, plus the few hours 20M was open to DL enough to work the WRTC stations.
