[Elecraft] K2: I killed my KPA100

[Jim KO5V]

Don,

OK, I again thoroughly checked the PP connectors and the fuse/fuse holder, they're good, so I decided to remove the cable from the power supply, and the bolt negative output of the Tripp-Lite rotated. I opened it up and found the insulating washer was broken. I need to go to the hardware store and get a couple of new washers, but I'll bet that's the problem. It would run my LP100 when it was the only thing connected, but that draws little current. I just assumed the problem was my work - and it may still be! I'll let you know what happens after I repair the supply.

Thanks for your patience. 73,

Jim KO5V
