I have just installed a recently constructed KPA100 (including the latest upgrades)
and appear to have run into the erratic power control problem.
Using Tune + Display and an external LP100 meter, if I request 5w I get 5w out.
Increasing power to 11w so as to engage the pa I also get 11w out - so all seems
fine.
Switching to SSB, and speaking steadily into the mic, at a requested 5w I get
approximately 5-7w out on each band.
However increasing the power to 11w I get the following:
80m Req 11 Get 45
40m Req 11 Get 80
20m Req 11 Get 25
15m Req 11 Get 30
10m Req 11 Get 20
Reading back through the archive I see that others have encountered the same
problem but cannot see a definitive answer to the problem. Anyone have any
thoughts as to where to start looking.
73 to all
