[Elecraft] K2 low power on 160 meters

Make sure you wound T4 right.  Using 2 turns on the 3-4 winding will cause
the problem you descibe.  I know - cause I wound T4 wrong!

Subject: [Elecraft] K2 low power on 160 meters

Hello all,

my K2 is drawing 2 Amps on 160 meters, for 2 W HF output, and I have the Hi
cur alarm (3A) for less than 3 W output.
I also notice that on 3.5 Mhz, current is 0.2- 0.4 A higher than on other
bands for comparable power output.
L3/L4 are peaked for max power output.

Help is apreciated.
