My KPA-500 has been running great for several years. Recently I noticed it was making the occasional extra "click" or "thunk" upon powering up or down. Usually it would "click" when powered up and again when powered down, but recently a few seconds after the first click there would be another one, maybe more of a thunk sound.
This afternoon I turned it on and when I pushed the Operate/Standby button I got a fault light and the 270V ERR message on the display. The menu HV option shows 68.4V, varying a bit, on my 240V line. I put it on the bench and opened up the top cover. There is a smell of overheated components, maybe burnt but more like too hot. I've submitted the contact form on the Elecraft support page. Any suggestions? For now, I'm running barefoot... 73 de Chuck, WS1L chandler...@gmail.com ______________________________________________________________ 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
