[Elecraft] KPA100 has 0.1 w indicated, SWR 1.0 during tune test

I am attempting the C1 adjustment to get correct SWR. Unfortunately, with a dummy load on the SO239 port and the power knob set to 5w, pressing TUNE just gives a beep followed by 0.1 1.0-1. Adjusting C1 has no effect at all. The receive audio does cut out while tune mode is on, then reappears when off.

I get the same behavior whether 8r is set to norm or hold.

I'm guessing there a break in the transmit RF path somewhere.  *sigh*
