[Elecraft] K1 TX alignment problems

[MagicAggie@aol.com]

ok, I have read this part over and over and done it a few times and i still 
dont get it.

on page 46 of the manual in the prep part i do just fine. rig is connected to 
a coax jumper that connects to an OHR dummy load. Rig is connected to 
paddles. Turning on is fine, and set power to 2.0 watts is ok.  Then 
everything is wishy-washy.

i go to 10 MHz band, put in tune mode, and adjust to 2.0 watts or the max 
watts? i have seen it jump to 3. something. I usually have adjusted it to 
2.0. I go of TUNE and go to 7 MHz band. Go to TUNE and adjust to 2 watts. I 
get out of TUNE and go to 18MHz. I cant adjust to 2.0 watts. Highest it will 
go is .7-.8 watts. Ditto with the 14 MHz band. For practicality i change OUT 
power to 5 and enter tune in each band. When i enter TUNE i get 2.0 watts in 
the first 2, and .1 or something for the other two.

what problems am I having? any ideas?
