[Elecraft] KPA-100 under test

[Bob Henderson]

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for your reply.  Sadly, I don't think my problem is with the setting
of tPA. As that is done earlier in the set up, I had already adjusted it to
my shack ambient temperature of 25C.  I imagine setting Fan LoHI or Fan Hi
in the PA menu should force a signal to turn the fan on regardless of tPA
setting but I'm not sure.

I was active in the WPX over the weekend ( P3F ). It was a whole lot of fun
despite Murphy being at work here and despite too the X class solar flare
that messed with the bands.
