[Elecraft] KPA1500 LOW GAIN FAULT

[Vic Rosenthal]

The first thing to do with any amplifier failure is to try it with a dummy load. If the problem still occurs, you can rule out SWR or RF feedback problems. It doesn’t seem like any of the above if it occurs on all bands, but it’s easy and a good start to a systematic diagnosis.
