Good Evening,    Conditions were different from last week.  The noise was less and the QSB was almost gone.  All the signals I copied were pretty easy to copy.  The problem was those were the only stations I could hear at all.  There was a hint of a sunspot this week but that was not enough

I had the exact same problem with my KPA500. I inadvertently left it connected in a lightning storm in the Caribbean and, after some diagnosis on my RF bench, I found that the PIN diodes on the receive side were blown. Replacing them cured the problem. While in there be advised that there is an

Hi All, While out of work on medical leave I have been playing with software called Node Red which runs on Linux. I currently have a Raspberry Pi 3B running Raspbian and Node Red. This allows control and monitoring of equipment in the shack, including the KPA1500 amp. This allows easy remote

My KPA 500, which is several years old, has just developed an issue which so far I have been unable to resolve. What has happened is that when I put the amplifier into OPER, the received signal strength drops by several S units. It transmits normally and also receives normally in STBY. The issue
