I have a KPA500 that faults on low (60 VDC) voltage. After measuring the power supply voltage at the PA module is perfectly fine. The voltage read by the processor on the front panel via pin 10 of P1 is lower than it should be and hence the fault condition. I suspect there is a voltage divider on the LPF board that drops the 60 VDC to something that the processor can read and digitize (in the 0 to 3-5 volt range). The set of schematics I have do not show the voltage divider anywhere. does anyone have this part of the schematics for the KPA500 so that I can adequately troubleshoot this amp and get it on the air for the contest this weekend? Multiple notes to Elecraft have gone unanswered.
