Dear all,
I just finished my KPA100. I do have the following problem with the 
first steps connecting the KPA100 to my K2 #05618.
I've connected the ribbon cable, speaker and RF connector to my K2. I've 
got audio and I also receive stations when I connect my antenna.
With my dummy load and after setting power to 5Watts on 40M I see the 5 
watts and the SWR for 1 second in the LCD screen and then the HiCur 
(High current) appears on the LCD.On 20m  bands I only see the PWR in 
the LCD screen without the SWR for 1 second and than I see HiRefl. On 
10M I do see the pwr and the SWR! The latter I only get 2.1 watts when 
set to 5 watts.
Please can somebody tell me where to start? I did check the connections 
and this seems to be ok. There is no pwr to the KPA100 so everything is 
bypassed, except the bandfilters?
help is very much appreciated!.
