Hi all,

Since adding a KAT100 to my K2/100 about a month ago D16 and D17 in the 
KPA100 have blown 3 times.  The first time I thought it was caused by 
antenna static buildup during a blizzard but the last 2 times it happened as 
the tuner was attempting to tune an antenna.  Could there be problem with 
the tuner that is causing this?  Everything is well grounded and the 
antennas are not bedsprings but a G5RV and twin sloper.

I'm getting real tired of replacing those diodes!

73,
