[Kenwood] Still having problems with a TL-922A blowing one fuse...

[Dutch Maurer WB7DYW]

Ed,
Sorry about that, the power switch was bad and I managed to open it up and repair it so the OFF/ON switch is now working, fuse blows when you turn the amp ON…

The resistance from hot to ground is infinite, from hot to hot about 1 ohm using a Simpson 260 VOM…

I also configured it for 115 VAC operation and get the same results; I currently have the 3-500’s out of the amp???

This all started when I tried to configure the amp for 220 operation vs. 240, it blew a fuse so I put it back to the 240 settings (jumpers on back), I have removed the diode board and all diodes check OK, all safety switches covered when applying power…
