[Elecraft] KPA1500 - Temp reading drops when under power

[rlvz at aol.com]

Have the same issue "temp drop under power" with Serail #167.  40m. is the worst by far.

I just checked mine on 40M and when on CW Temp is 
bouncing all over the place. Same into a dummy 
load as the antenna 300ft away. It also does it 
to a lesser extent on 80M and a little bounce on 17M and 10M.

I suspect its in the amp and not related to common mode RF in the coax.

Probably a cap in the right place would fix it.
