I just installed my KPA 100 with the KAT100 antenna tuner. Every thing was working fine on all bands - until I attempted to tune on 40 meters. Suddenly I got an alarm and the panel is locked - I can't get to menu or any of the controls. The alarm is a continuous beeping. I removed the high power

uuF was used to spec cap values in tube equipment. The introduction of semiconductors forced a conversion to use the 'pico' prefix. Same with hertz. Tube gear measured frequency in cycles per second. The transistor changed all of that. Today, the use of surface mount parts has caused the need
