[Elecraft] KPA500 faults on first dit at times

Seasons Greetings Ellecrafters,

"KPA500 faults on first dit at times"

It doesn't happen all the time and I can't pin down the sequence of events when it happens, the last time was after a band QSY after clicking on a spot in my logging software. I am wondering if others have had issue or have solved the problem.  The fault on the KPA500 is too much drive.  I have the drive adjusted per band and none above 32 watts.  It resets quickly and all is well after the initial fault.  It usually happens once or twice a day. 

After bringing the amplifier back on line, all is well.  It just scares me when it happens :)

73,
