This started last night after a fault occurred with my kpa1500 while i was on 160m,it
receives fine, I get the Error Has Occurred - Excess Power Detected pop up every time i try to transmit or tune.
This happens on both antenna ports and with or without a dummy load.
Nothing unusual on the front panel at start up or transmit. on transmit, relay clicks and the LED blinks red back to green and the error pops up. This happens on both windows or Maestro (2.4.9)
I opened a ticket, but does anyone have any other ideas ? I did do a factory reset with no joy.
Thanks,
Rich

saw that, read it, nothing helped. same cables worked on other radios just fine at 100 watts (AM no less). 6500 wont even tune at 10-15 watts
known good cables, and running straight into a dummy load doesn't work either.

Visually inspect and/or replace all coax connectors/cables. Start PL-259's still in RF path to Dummy Load.2

Just noticed this, this morning ..... lower right corner says " TX TX fault"
Sign of a hardware error ?

Rich, What firmware level was you running on your KPA150. Versions below 2.0 had a very serious fault on some units when using on 160 meters that could damage or destroy the PA transistors.

Hi Larry,
I was running v.2.0.9
I updated to 2.0 as soon as I got the email about it. And then to 2.0.9 a week or so ago.
Ironically, I lost the PA's shortly after getting the amp in early Nov and running on 160m, I believe the version was like 1.78 ?
It was repaired under warranty, and less than a month or so the v2.0 email came out.
