[Elecraft] KPA100 another issue

[n0jrn]

Well,   doesn't seem to my weekend.          :-)

While checking the output of the KPA100  ( during test and alignment ) 
completed the bias adjustment and began the transmit test.

Connected to my 100 watt dummy load with short jumpers.  Watt meter in line 
and checking the output compared to the meter.   Started on 40 meters and at 
20    watts all was good.  Moved the power up and noted the amp kicked out 
around 35 watts. Started checking other bands at 20 watts and found that on 
15 meters,  my current draw went way up and my supplied voltage went way 
down.up and my supplied voltage went way down.

Using an Astron VS35M supply.

Wondered if my hook up to the dummy load had an issue so hooked up to a 
resonant antenna on 40 and found the amp is still kicking out around 35 
watts.

Figured I must have missed a solder joint or something in the low pass 
filter for 15 meters and that must be affecting the other bands.   Broke it 
all down and check the amp board / low pass filters and all look good. 
All the right components in place and the right number of turns on the 
roids.  Solder joint appear good and pass continuity tests.
No missed solders.

Now I'm stumped again............

So,  why would one band that shares caps and toroids with two other bands 
draw things down so bad.  I've set my power supply at 14 volts and the 
display on the K2 is showing 13.8 volts.

I did get high reflected warnings 17 meters when testing with more than 15 
watts but I'm puzzled as to how this issue results in the amp kicking out on 
all other bands.
( K2's display indicating 1.0-1  when tuning into the dummy load.

Any ideas gang ????

Think I'll pull the caps and see if one of them is opened.

Is there a good method of checking K9 and K10 ????

Again,  thanks for any help:

( BTW,   my ISP is also acting up and it's taking several hours for my posts 
to show up on the reflector )

Back to 40 meters and tried to
