[Elecraft] KPA100 question

[Don Wilhelm]

Mark,

The real answer is YES.

Measure your actual power when the power request is set to 5 watts - if 
it is really 12 watts or more, then that is an indication that the power 
control is not working, and the KPA100 wattmeter diodes are the first 
suspects.

380 ohms is much lower than normal, but that depends a lot on your 
ohmmeter.  They should measure low in one direction (normally about 3K) 
and quite high (about 43k) in the other direction.

73,
