[Elecraft] KPA-1500 failing on 160...AGAIN!

[John Langdon]

If it also happens with a dummy load, and the antenna analyzers shows the same graph as before for R, X, then it is likely one of the connectors between the KPA1500 output and the antenna. The one such problem I had was old jumper I had put in to add an SWR bridge/monitor. It looked okay, and was finger tight, but when I replaced it in an A/B test, the problem went away.

The other time, the antenna had changed its impedance curve, but was still 'okay' and the tuner was trying to retune for it.

And if it's a vertical, what about the radial system?
