[Elecraft] Killed the KPA500 :)

[ANDY DURBIN]

"The unit was powered on and it came up in operate mode while the HF radio was in TX at 100w on 6M. End result is that the magic smoke got out. :)"


I suspect this is a very common mistake for ops who sometimes use the amp and sometimes operate barefoot. I thought the KPA500 was designed to protect against that user error. Seems I was wrong.


Suggest you contact support for schematics. Unless their policy has changed recently they will provide them to you.
