I agree with Bob. This exact problem occurred with my KPA500 last year and it was the switching diodes. Support offered to send the parts for me to replace but I opted to send the amp in for repair. Support was a pleasure to deal with. 73, Bart, NS4X On Sunday, August 25, 2019, Mike Sanders

Probably a cable mess up on my part. Before I go through heroic efforts to move the operating desk can anyone offer any help or advice. The receiver is fine when the KPA500 is turned on but in STBY. When it is switched to OPER the RX drops from say S9 to S3. Any ideas? Thanks, Mike K0AZ
