Pat,
If this condition is confined to 40 meters, check out the KPA100 specific
information regarding the position of RFC10 (the one soldered to the antenna
jack) on Tom Hammond's website www.n0ss.net .
If it happens on all bands, then you have another problem, so ask again and
provide more information and we can lead you on a path of 'problem chasing'.
First you will have to tell us whether the 'wattmeter' you refer to is an
external wattmeter or the internal K2 indication.
