Hi ,I am repairing a KPA100 that suffered some lightning damage .I have
fixed most of it ,but have a question .The alignment and Installation (page 44 in the manual ) calls for >10 k from the center pin of the ant connector (J2) and ground. I have that but only with a part that seems to be added from the center pin to ground removed .It is marked 5800 101 and I think it is a inductor. It measures a couple of tens of an ohm dc and seems to be about 880 uh .Is it supposed to be there ?I don't see it on the schematic .

Glenn,
You are reading from the newer KPA100 manual and you have an older KPA100 on your hands. That would be RFC10, and will be found in KPA100s without the more recent T/R switch upgrade KPA100UPKIT. If you look closer, you will find toroids at L15 and L16 wound on red toroid cores, and a similarly marked RF Choke at RFC1. That T/R switch design change was to combat a potential parasitic oscillation just above the 40 meter ham band. I would suggest that you install the KPA100UPKIT on that KPA100 while you are working on it. If it does not have the upgraded shield - with the spring clips, speaker shield, narrow opening above the SO-239 jack with 2 soldering lugs that connect the shield directly to the SO-239 jack, you should also install the KPA100SHLDKIT (or something like that designation). 73, Don W3FPR Glenn Biggerstaff wrote: > Hi ,I am repairing a KPA100 that suffered some lightning damage .I have > fixed most of it ,but have a question .The alignment and Installation > (page 44 in the manual ) calls for >10 k from the center pin of the ant > connector (J2) and ground.
