[Elecraft] KPA500 High Reflected Power Fault

[Nels Anderson]

I tried lowering the drive to 1 watt (using the tune function) and that 
still triggers the fault.

I suspect I'll only have the LDG tuner until the KAT500 comes out! It 
more or less gets the job done but I think it could do better and I'm 
not eager to got back to the manual tuner I have.
