[Elecraft] KPA100 Problem solved

[W5EI@cs.com]

Leo,

I don't believe anything was actually getting hot, because the PA hot message 
 appeared upon intial power-up when the heat sink was quite cold to the 
touch.  The high temp reading in the CAL tpa menu setting would also show an 
extremely high temp reading even when the ambient temp. in my shack was only 
5 deg. C early in the morning.  It's almost as if the erratic readings might 
have been caused by a crack in the case of Q3, a possibility suggested by 
Don, KD5NDB.  I could not find such a problem when I looked at Q3; it was 
quite loose however.  

73,

Don
