KPA100 tPA setting 0C - unable to edit setting - 40M parasitic

Verduyn Jan-qswi296
 
Hi All,
 
The fan of my K2/KPA100 will operate regardless of the temperature of
the heatsink.  The setting of tPA has changed for some reason and now
shows 0C.
Problem is that the value tPA cannot be changed using "edit" and turning
the tuning control.  Anyone experienced the same and found a solution?

 
As to the reason why tPA value changed: I wonder wether this problem was
caused by the 40 Meter Parasitic problem on my KPA100  similar to what
was discussed on this list a few weeks ago.  I carried out the mod
suggested by Tom N0SS and repositioning the RF choke RFC10 near the
Antenna Socket.  I can confirm the mod substantially reduced the
frequency of the parasitic and has almost completely cured it.
