KPA500 kat500 to flex 6500

[Ken Chandler]

Hi guys
I'm just trying to pair my KPA500 / kat500 to a flex 6500 to test it for contesting this weekend.

Connected the flex to the KPA500 but I'm only getting 300w out and that's with 35w drive!
I've popped this question on the flex owners site they suggested I had a blown pa.
Connected the K3 back up and I'm getting the full spec power out.
Any K3 member come across the same, or anyone shed an idea as to what is possibly happening !

Cheers

Ken.. G0ORH

What is the power reading on an external meter with amp in bypass and SmartSDR tune slider at 100 when keying with the Tune button?
