[Elecraft] K1 Power indication.

Gerry,

After setting the power level are you pressing and __HOLDING__ the menu
button until the normal display returns? You must do this to fix the
power level you selected. The complete sequence is:

1.  Press "MENU"

2.  Select "Out" by pressing the "WPM+" or "WPM-" key

3.  When "Out" is showing press and hold "MENU" until a number is shown.
That number is the current power out setting. Press "WPM+" and/or "WPM-"
to adjust power to desired level.

4.  When the proper value is set, press and hold "MENU" until the normal
display is showing.

Key into a dummy load/watt meter the Pout should be what you selected in
step 3. If not you should check Q5, D18...etc.

GL

Hi to the group.
I just finished my K1 and everything works EXCEPT the powerout remains
at 4.5 watts(Measured with WM-2 wattmeter) when I try to change to other
levels, 1,2 or 3 watts as indicated on the LCD display.

Page 60 of the handbook indicates that Q5,D18, and U8 are the circuit
components but I want to make sure I'm not doing something stupid with
the push buttons before I open the case again.
