[Elecraft] KPA-1500 ATU BYP light always on

[Roy Koeppe]

About:


"Just got my KPA-1500, and it seems to work great except that the ATU BYP
light is always illuminated.  The ATU operates normally when I light the
IN light with the ATU Mode switch and apply drive.  I can't find
anything in the manual about this."

Can anyone clarify?

Mine has that defect too Pete; serial number is 160 and I suspect yours is 
not brand new? Hope to hear from others here. I understand the factory has 
several update mods available for 'older' amps. So far I have simply ignored 
the funny behavior of the stuck LED. Mine has this issue ONLY on 40 meters.
