[Elecraft] Power output

[g3pjt]

Hi

Having just finished the first stage of K2 - #2642 and broken my first pile
up with it (OJ0) I am wondering about the output power I am getting.

On CW I get 12 w on 80 falling to 8w on 10 with 13.5 volts on load ( Cur
3.0)
I have rewound T2 as per other comments and tried  a new binocular core but
the results are about the same.
I now have T2 vertical on the board at right angles to T3 as that gets it
off the board surface.

Whilst 8W isn't far of the 10W spec it isn't anything like the 10-15 w I see
banded about

I am not too bothered by this but I would like to know if 10W+ on 10m is
normal and wether if I put the amplifier in I will be short of drive.
