[Elecraft] KXPA100 Fault on ANT1

[Michael Dinkelman]

fyi Gerald

I just had a similar issue.
The coax connection between the ANT1 SO239 and the board shorted at the 
crimped TMP connector
(after two years of use). Elecraft support (Rob) was helpful in 
troubleshooting too.

Might check the spark gaps on the board too

cheers

PA and ATU on ANT2 are working as expected and the relays is switching between the 2 antennas. I think I’ve fried something on the input of ANT1. Where should I start to search? Any help is appreciated.
