My only questions is this normal for the K2 in regards to S-meter readings
vs power change?
- S8-S9 = 10db
- S5-S8 = 10db
- S3-S5 = 10db
What is typical linearity of S-meter?

This is a critique of the Elecraft K2/100
Here are approximate changes on the NCDXF beacon
going from 100 watts to .1 watts. The station is 4U1UN
New York City on 28.200. Antenna is a 4 element beam.
S9 100 watts
S8 10 watts
S5 1 watt
S3 .1 watt
You are invited to listen to the NCDXF/ IARU beacon
network and listen for yourself the actual change in
signal level as the beacon goes fm 100 watts to 10 watts, 1
watt and 100 mW, and then you can ask yourself if
the 100 watt amplifier you just built, tested, and paid
$$$$ for is worth it. In day to day operation, the idea
of a K2 at 100 watts is questionable and you guys that
are building the amplifiers or thinking about building the
add-on units need to examine this further. The smart
guys are ones with the K2 left at the original QRP levels.
