[Elecraft] KPA500 repair
Well that's an interesting failure report. I don't see any obvious single factor except for overheating of the entire PA module. Was the fan functioning normally, air vents clear, and external airflow unobstructed? "Capton tape on the "S" bracket is interesting. Did they mean "Kapton tape on the Z bracket"? Sounds like the fix I was going to attempt but the clicking went away as my KPA500 aged.

My KPA500 is on the way back from Watsonville. Just in time for the Bouvet DXpedition I am trying to understand what might have caused the problem. Here are the details. Problem(s) found: T/R circuit failure due thermal damaged diode D10 causing damage to traces and pads on LPF module. Thermal damaged relays K3,K5,K7 on LPF module. (diodes physically near D10) Amp clicking when getting hot. Repair(s) performed: Repaired damaged traces and pads on LPF module. Replaced diode D10 and K3,K5,K7 on LPF module. Replaced diodes D7, D8, D9 on LPF module as preventive measure.Added capton tape to “S” bracket to avoid amp clicking.
