[Elecraft] PA Transistors Maintenance in K2

[Edward R Cole]

Don,

I ran my KXPA100 mobile for 5,000 miles to-Seattle and back to AK 
this spring.  Is there any advise for maint for extended mobile use?

Ted,

Not Q7 and Q8 in the base K2, but for the KPA100, yes tightening the
screws for Q1 and Q2 should be done after 5 to 10 hours of operation at
greater then 50 watts.
