Gregg,
That definitely sounds like your KPA100 is oscillating. Do not allow it
to do that for more than a few seconds because the oscillation can cause
the demise several components.
Has your KPA100 been upgraded with the KPA100UPKT? Alternately, is this
a new KPA100 that was shipped in the last 2 months of last year?
If the answer to both those questions is 'NO', then I strongly recommend
that you add the KPA100UPKT as the first order of business.
If the answer to either question is "YES", then please physically
inspect KPA100 C31 - if it is not a .22 uF capacitor, then obtain the
proper .22 uf capacitor from [EMAIL PROTECTED] and replace it.

I am current operating /KH6 and my K2 has developed a problem (it was working
fine.) I am using a K2/100 with the KAT100 tuner. The problem only occurs on
high power.
The KAT100 tunes the antenna to a near 1:1 swr on all bands. Key down all is
OK, on key up the swr jumps to a very high level, this occurs on all bands. I
am guessing the KPA100 is going spurious on key up.
Any ideas on where to look for the problem, other than generally in the KPA 100?
