[[Elecraft] K2 - Low output on 10m]

[Rod N0RC]

Bill,

Try adjusting the spacing of the inductors that form the LPF for 10 and 1=
2m.
(SRI I don't have the schematic call-outs handy). Also try rewinding the
binocular core in the final. Interleave the windings instead of laying th=
em on
top of each other. That alone can often increase power 1-2 watts.
