A caution for K3/100 kit builders: The female spade lug fell off one of the
gray wires coming from the main PA board on my KPA3 100-watt amplifier
module because of what appears to have been an inadequate crimp. Suggest
you check for a physically good termination on those two wires before you
install that module.
The symptoms were an occasional 12V ERR warning and the inability to select
any power above 12 watts even with the PA enabled. When I opened up the
transceiver to inspect it, the wire was detached from the lug. I haven't
repaired it yet, but I suspect the 100W PA will work when I do.
