The transistors arrived yesterday and I did ALL Don advised.
Everything checked out and I replaced the transistors with amazing ease.
All the diodes appeared healthy and the voltage was spot on.
Start to finish and being very careful, it took about 4 hours.
I'm getting 100 watts out and all is well in Zion.
I'm still getting a "High Current" warning occasionally at the first bit of
transmission.
Is this common/normal and should I check something else?
Interestingly this is serial number #7230 but from what Don was saying it
appears to have an older amp on it. I still haven't built a KPA100 so I'm
not very familiar with them but it does have a shield on it as Don
described.
How important is that fix?
Elecraft has once again endeared themselves to me.
I have very little electronics back ground. To be able to open a rig and
fix
it is really cool. This would have been unthinkable without the help of
this group.
I want to give a special THANKS to Don W3FPR, Dale WC7S and Dick K2ZR.
