Hi K2 owners and K2 experts,

in some DX- situations I think some dBs more would be helpfull so I would
like to adjust my K2 (#1864) from 5W to 15W.
The specifikation sheet (in manual REV C) says: power output <0.5W to >10W
(typ)
The K2-Standard Features (Elecraft homepage) say: 0.1 - 15W
Can I get any problems with 15W?
For excample: destruction of the termal pads and shoulder washers of the PA-
transistors due to high temperature or
higher spurious products or more harmonics.
