New, factory-assembled KPA500 won't power on

[David Helman]

Just received a brand new factory assembled KPA500 which will not power on.
Have connected with Kenwood TS-990S and KAT500 tuner. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
David, WD7I

You may have to install the fuse; I did...

Did you install the fuse?

Check the fuse.

The folks at the factory don't know whether you will use 115V or 230V to power the amplifier, so the safe thing is to not install a fuse. Look for an envelope with the fuses you need in the packaging.
