[Elecraft] Solution to KPA500 Problem

[Ora Smith]

I recently encountered an odd problem which I thought I would share in case anyone else experiences it. My KPA500/KTA500 combo refused to work on 20 meters. It appeared that the amp was not keying, but only on this band. I suspected a problem in the amp, but when I removed the tuner and connected the amp directly to the transceiver everything worked fine. It turned out that the firmware in the tuner was somehow corrupted. I installed the latest firmware into the KTA500 and now everything works FB.
