The digest is a real pain for the very reason you mentioned... many
subscribers, for whatever reason, don't remove all the non-pertinent stuff.
I have seen one post that was 3 digests deep!
To avoid that, you have 2 choices. Either change your delivery to
individual emails, or unsubscribe and go to
Would you admit it if you had received your K4? I wouldn't! The seismic sea
wave of email questions and comments would overwhelm the most robust of

Point taken.
FWIW: This "known failure" tech comment was in 2018.

You might be referring to this from an Elecraft repair invoice:
"Replaced Q5, D7, R3, R9 and R24 for Transmit/Receive MOD (Improves
robustness in Transmit/Receive circuitry)."
My KPA500 was back to the factory in March and had this mod installed. That
didn't help much in the "robust" department,
I always heard it was the French horn...

In my case, it was not the PIN diodes themselves, but failure of R9. I'm
away from my shack right now, so may not have the resistor ID correct. It
is a 48 Ohm resistor. I fixed the problem by parallel connecting a pair of
1/4 W, 100 Ohm resistors across the open one. Problem solved. Been fine
since
Hi Dave,
More information would be helpful. Are you seeing your radio's output thru
the KPA500 (and on the meters) with the amp in bypass mode? Is the radio's
PTT properly keying the amp? Etc.
