Good Evening, As I was talking on 20M SSB tonight, my K2/100 started to get a bit twitchy when I transmitted. The power was set to just below 100W. I started seeing an intermittent 'High Current' error message, which then changed to a constant 'Hot PA' error. I have an intermittent RFI problem on 20M (which I thought I had solved), so that might have returned and caused this problem.
I tried matching the antenna with the KAT100. It would not arrive at any solution - there were no relays clicking. I had to press the 'tune' button again to stop it. Toggling the power on the rig made no difference. So I searched the list's archives, and found a thread where Don mentioned the 'CAL TPA' menu. I found that it was at its maximum setting of 150C - I have set this parameter twice since building the radio 7 years ago. Resetting it to about room temp fixed the problem, and the radio now behaves normally. I also checked "CAL Cur", and it's still set to 3.50. So, it is working again, but why did the 'CAL TPA' setting go to it's max? Is there a known problem? Maybe it's a glitch from the RFI, but I thought I should ask just in case there is something else I should check. Thanks. 73, Jim KO5V Cedar Crest, NM ______________________________________________________________ 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
