-- An update on my KPA500 failure -- I extracted the amplifier/LPF assembly from the case and examined the two units:
- Power FETs and all components *appear* to be OK - *LPF Module Rev D* bd appears to be what failed. The SM component positioned between C97, C110 and C111 *MAY* be C96 - hard to identify after cleaning the white vapor-deposited 'stuff' from the PCA using acetone solvent. There was what appeared to be a "tombstone-positioned" '*something*' sitting on a pad in the damaged area that I can not identify. I have not been able to locate a schematic or PCA picture for this LPF assembly to identify the missing component. If someone could provide a link to the Rev D LPF assy, I would appreciate it very much. 73 and TU to all who have, so-far, provided helpful suggestions. I am now waiting to hear what Elecraft's Service Department has to say about the failure info and picture I sent to them today.
