Low Gain KPA1500

Richard Zalewski
Everything worked fine yesterday...Today for no apparent reason getting Low
Gain fault on most bands.  Did a retune for band segments.  It tunes fine
but in operate at same power level get fault.  Ratio anywhere from 1 to 4.

I had the same issue, had to send in to Elecraft.  Download the faults file
using the utility, and send to Elecraft Service, they will tell you what
happened and what to do.
