[Elecraft] Burn in of KPA100

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Hello Windy:

The lasts step (right column) of page 54 of the KPA100 Manual says:

IMPORTANT: The hardware holding the RF power transistors
in place will loosen slightly during initial use. After 5-10 hours of
normal operation at 50 watts or more, remove the KPA100 assembly
and its shield, then re-tighten the mounting hardware for Q1/Q2
approximately 1/8 turn.

Note that this is the KPA100 amp for the K2, not the KPA3 for the K3.

Where did this topic come from? I never read about on the Reflector  
before, or in the assembly or operating manuals. Did I miss something?
