Hi All: I just completed adding the KSB2 to my K2 #2528. Also upgraded
to the matched 14 XTALS. I have plenty of power on SSB, but for some
reason, CW max power is only about 1.5 watts, a little higher on the
lower bands, a little lower on the upper bands. The power level is
sensitive to where I set the rig's power setting, that is, it is higher
on higher settings. But even at 15Watts "requested" power, output power
only gets to about 1.5-2 watts. I don't remember seeing this before I
added the KSB2, but not really sure. All measurements are made using a
dummy load. The SSB signal sounds very good when monitored using
another rig, btw.
Any thoughts as to where to begin to look for the problem?
Tnx. 73 de Brian W3BW
