[Elecraft] KPA100 Firmware and tPA setting ?

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Well, I just tried it and tPA under "CAL" will, indeed, display the
current heat sink temperature. 

So the manual is incorrect where it says, on page 50, regarding the PA
parameter on the SEC menu:

"The PA parameter has five possible settings:...tPA allows TUNE mode to
display heat sink temperature." 

I would prefer a 'monitor' position in which it is not possible to
change the calibration if I merely want to see what it's doing. But at
least that works. At the moment I've got a temperature probe mounted
inside the K2 and it agreed with the temperature reported by CAL tPA
after transmitting for a while to heat things up.

I've been doing some heavy-duty temperature cycling of the K2 and it's
nice to know that it is possible to check the actual heat sink
temperature. Not that the K2 is prone to any serious problems from
overheating, according to Eric.
