[Elecraft] Hi Cur, low power on 17m

Hi

One more thing to check is the trimmers. Did you mix up the trimmers. the ones for the 17 meters do NOT have a red dot on them. The trimmers for 20 meters have a red dot. If you mixed up one or more of them you could have this symptom. It is also possible that the VCO is running a the wrong frequency due to a bad solder joint or wrong cap in the or around the VCO relay area. I had a K2 with a high current on one band problem that turned out to be the VCO running at the wrong frequency.

  The only thing that is unique to 17 meters and not used on another band is 
  the VCO and the bandpass trimmers C32 and C34.
