[Elecraft] Re: KAT100: Lo/Hi Pwr while TX

[Wayne Burdick]

Dominik,

This is a known issue with the K2 + KAT100 combination. In TUNE+DISPLAY mode
(autotune override), the KAT100's LO/HI power LEDs are not correctly updated
when POWER is rotated between QRP/QRO levels (at the 10W breakpoint). While this
shouldn't cause any problems, I'd recommend adjusting the POWER control before
doing TUNE.

This will be corrected in a future version of the K2 firmware.

73,
