All,
My KPA500 amp, (#2208 kit built), was acquired used but well cared for. It has operated perfectly for several years until today. I was in QSO on 40M when the amp threw a fault and the signal strength of received signals dropped markedly. When I put the amp in standby, the signal strength of the received signals returned to expected levels. I do get a TX power indication appropriate to the drive level on keying up. This issue does not clear when the power is cycled. I have done a cursory RTFM and find there is not a circuit diagram in the manual nor a description of how to interpret the fault (beyond the plain text listings). I have not yet had the time to dig into the archives at Elecraft or look through the files on the website. If this "symptom set" sounds familiar and/or you can point me to where and how I could troubleshoot, I will be quite thankful. Best regards, KD4IZ Jack Spitznagel FM19oo ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
