[Elecraft] kpa100 low output

[W3FPR - Don Wilhelm]

Pat,

A note to mailto:parts at elecraft.com should get 2 new non-inductive resistors
on their way to you when Scott and Brian get back to work on Monday.

If you have not been updated on the information, the capacitor change does
not do the trick entirely, the increased value caps are OK, but simply move
the problem down a bit in frequency.  The 4700 pf caps are also OK and will
be the ones shipped and recommended.

73,
Don W3FPR
