with only about four hours to go my k2/qrp //- EC2 KPA100/KAT100 developed
a  problem.  "PA HOT",,,and locked into xmt.  Had to power down to get it
out of xmt.  BUT THE PA was NOT hot... not even close,,,,over the course of
field day it never really got hot  (this was a gota station with good
dipoles)......

The k2 when disconnected from the kpa/kat100 appears at first testing to be
ok,,,, but the 15 watts didn't cut it for the last four hours,,,,as a gota
station.

I looked in the book... but until I put a meter in there I'm clueless.

it will not develop any power from the amp.The k2 is good at 15 watts...
It was developing only about 50 60 watts out on 20 before it went down....
( and i just ordered the 20/30 mtr mod kit ),,,,
was it always low on 20 ...i do not know...

And of course I leave on a car trip for 6 days,,,in half hour. Guess I'll
have to find a wifi  hotel to park at &  to look thru the archives... ..

maybe someone has been here before?????
