[Elecraft] Looking for a KPA500 Schematic

[Johnny Siu]

Hello Scott,
I suggest we should also put in a suggestion "Contact support at elecraft.com "

Shipping of the entire amplifier could be expensive.  The merit of elecraft products are their module design which is very good for overseas user.  I simply ship back the defective module instead of the whole machine.
Perhaps, elecraft support could give a schematic to the interested kpa500 owners.

Apparently there is some misunderstanding regarding my comment (Or 
people are responding without reading the entire message closely...). I 
was NOT responding to the original poster. I was responding to the 
second commenter, who said that he needed a schematic because his NEW 
KPA500 had failed. My point was that rather than risk further damaging a 
NEW, still under warranty KPA500, why not simply let Elecraft fix it. 
I'm not sure why it's "unbelievable" that I'd send my NEW amp to 
Elecraft for repair, but to each his or her own.

I wasn't suggesting that no one needs a schematic, just that it probably 
wasn't the most necessary in that particular situation, where a piece of 
gear was NEW and under warranty. A supplied schematic would be nice, 
especially given that the skill level of the average Elecrafter might be 
somewhat higher than the average ham.
