KPA-1500 gone berserk

N4ZR
I just got done replacing the LPF board in my amp (SN 502) and
everything seemed fine for a little while.  Now, suddenly, every time I
try to run the amp in OPER mode, it faults with either Fault 6 (on the
K3's LCD) , FAULT: PWR INPUT 67-68  WATTS (varies), or FAULT: PWR HI FOR
SWR BYPASS 1.0.  This with my known good dummy load on Ant 2 selected
and running as little as 10 watts input to the K3.

I will get with Elecraft support on Monday, but right now I was
wondering if perhaps this is operator error of some kind that might be
easily remediable, hence this message.

Problem has disappeared as quickly as it started.  Please disregard.
