Fwd: [Elecraft] KPA100 Failing to Produce High Power

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Or simply move the POWER control, and the output should jump to whatever
corresponds to the position of the POWER control up to the full 100 watts,
even in TUNE mode.

Curt,

How are you attempting to initiate transmit?  If you ae pressing TUNE, 
then 20 watts is what should be produced - the KPA100 firmware limits 
TUNE to 20 watts.  If you need to try at a higher power than that, you 
must press TUNE and DISPLAY together.

OTOH, if you are already doing TUNE/DISPLAY, then check the KPA100 LPF 
toroids for the correct number of turns - count the nmber of times the 
wire passes through the center of the core.
