[Elecraft] RE: K2 power dropping off

[DAVE HEALY]

Thanks to all you kind folks that have responded to my plea for help.

Yes, I have the current limiter set to 3.5A.

I went ahead and hooked the K2 up the to Astron VS-35M power supply.  =
Set the output voltage to 14.2VDC on the Astron which gives me 13.6VDC =
on the K2.

The dummy load is a new MFJ-264 (1-650 MHz).  (sigh)

Here are the new readings with the wattmeter reading shown first and the =
K2's readout shown last.

             wattmeter - K2
3700   -   18.1   -   18.2
7100   -   16.0   -   16.5
10100 -   14.0   -   15.4
14100 -   13.5   -   15.0
18113 -   13.0   -   14.9
21200 -   12.0   -   14.6
24950 -   11.0   -  13.8
28350 -   10.0   -   12.0

What does that tell you astute guys?  Does it meet specs in you eyes at =
these voltages, or is it still a little low?

(I need another wattmeter and dummy load, don't I?)

Thanks!
