I just upgraded the KPA100 from Rev A to Rev D, and installed the
upgraded shield, under the philosophy of "better late than never" :)

I am noticing two problems, when connected to a 50-ohm dummy load:

1) In TUNE, the display briefly shows "Hi Cur", followed by a strange
power/SWR indication such as "7 5.0-1"
2) At any setting above 10W, the Power knob seems to have no effect --
the wattmeter always reads approximately 100W output.  This is true
both in TUNE and in CW.

The actual power output appears to be about 100W, when measured with
an external wattmeter (although a bit low on 10M).

Do you think re-alignment is required?

Thanks
