[Elecraft] Small help

2009-09-18 Thread richard gilley
Just finished the KPA100.  Page 49 External Amp Keying test.  Getting  
15 ohms during Tune.
Tried two meters.  R1 and C90 look OK.
Ideas?

Best regards

Dick,

The normal resistance is very high (receive periods) and very close to 
zero during transmit (or TUNE).
Your 15 ohms is unusual.
Check the gate voltage of Q9 - it should be close to 5 volts.  Also 
check the soldering of Q9.  Be ceertain the source connection has had 
enough heat to flow the solder out onto both the solder pad and the Q9 lead.

73,
