[Elecraft] Help - Elecraft Shutting Down

[Robert Garceau]

I had that problem in St.Croix a few years ago.
Turned out to be a bad power supply.
I could get no higher than 30 watts and then shut down..

If its shutting down only when the power level is above 12W I'd pull the
KPA3 and check for the "burned connector" problem - particularly if the
symptoms have been getting progressively worse.
