[Elecraft] KPA100 final test.

[Don Wilhelm]

Brian,

The KPA100 TUNE automatically limits the power to 20 watts.
Hold TUNE and DISPLAY together and the power output should be what is 
set on the power knob.
If you have not yet balanced and calibrated the KPA100 wattmeter, use an 
external wattmeter that you can trust and adjust the forward power pot 
so the K2 display agrees with the external wattmeter.

I do get 5 watts when set at 5, etc. but for any setting above 20, I just get 20 watts out.  If I go into tune mode for 10 sec or so, the KPA100 transistors do get hot.  Every resistance test, etc. has been perfect, my bias is set at .97 amps.  T-R is set to 8R- HOLD.
