[Elecraft] 10m low output problem

I just installed all of the A to B mods, BFO mod kit, PLL temp comp, &
matched crystals.

I aligned the K2 and had good power out on all bands, barefoot.

I then connected it to my KAT100/KPA100 in an EC2 enclosure and tested
into a dummy load.

Power out was fine on all bands, except 10M where it goes to 50W and
stops.  Current draw at 50W is approximately 15A.  Current draw is the
about the same on all of the other bands, except power out is in the
100W range.

Before the mods everything worked fine.

BTW, I shorted out the new VRFDET series resistor on the control board
to see if that made any difference.  It didn't.

Any ideas as to what is happening or where to look for a problem?

Tommorrow, I'll separate the KAT100 and the KPA100 to see if I can find
anything else.

Thanks for the help.
