I am trying to iron out the wrinkles in my newly built K2. It has =
160,SSB, NB,AF, DSP,K2/100

The rig has plenty of output on CW but the best I can do SCREAMING into =
the mic.is about 35 watts. Same holds true when I turn the power down =
and run without the 100 PA. A 10 watt setting gives me about 3 or 4 =
watts  A strong whistle might make around 50 watts with theh K2/100

I am running a Heil MH2 desk mike and even have the SSBA setting at 3. I =
have confirmed that I have 5 volts to pin one and voltages on U3 look =
pretty decent. BTW, test are doing using a Daiwa PEP meter into a dummy =
load which I have tested with other rigs.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

73,
