Follow up KXPA100 low power problem

Terry
I first want to thank all those who responded to my post.   In a follow up email it was suggested that I check for voltage drop in the Elecraft 12v fused power cord.  

Sure enough, at key down, voltage dropped from 14v to 10.5v.   I connected a 10ga power cord directly from my PS to the amp.  Voltage at key down was 13.72 volts and the amp put out full power.  

Time to troubleshoot the fused power cord!

73,

Terry, N7TB

I was not pleased with the original Elecraft supplied power cord either. I replaced it and never looked back.
