Hi George,
We need a little more information.
How many times have you sent it back?
What were the issues? Was it the same issue each time you sent it back?
Give us some detailed information about the issue(s).
I have KPA1500 serial number 112. I took delivery in April 2017. It has never
been back
Is there a common component failure with this KPA1500 amp or does something
different break every time? Is there a certain mode, power level or type of
antenna/feedline that causes failures? I also monitor the SPE Expert list
and some people have multiple LDMOS failures while others have no issue
Here is a reply I received from Elecraft when I needed a switch. They did send
me a couple as well.
"Thanks for contacting Elecraft. Apologies for the slow turn time.
The eight switches in a KPOD in question are Elecraft P/N E640062, described as
" SWITCH,TACT,12mm,SMD".

Not a huge e-switch fan. If I was going to the trouble to replace it, I’d get
the equivalent Alps part. It’s a common 12mm tact. Mouser stocks Alps.

Remember, almost no one posts messages saying "My xxx hasn't failed." Only
the bad news shows up on the reflectors.

Is there a reliability issue with these amps?
Mine's been running with no issues since late June 2019. I use it
extensively with legal limit CW, SSB, and RTTY contesting on HF and

All:
Is it normal for the T1 ATU not to stay in tune mode after tuning an
antenna? I've noticed that my T1 will occasionally default back to power
mode so I need to switch the T1 back into tune mode whenever I switch
bands and need to re-tune.

Thanks for the checkins. See you next week.
Good Evening,
Conditions were better than last week. There was some rapid QSB on
everyone. I scanned twenty meters before the first net. There was one
DX pileup with a few casual contacts but not much more.
It is rainy and cool along the coast. Fall colors are fading in the
