[Elecraft] KX1 Excessive Power Out

[John Porter]

   A few weekends ago (sweepstakes weekend) I broke out my KX1 in the 
back yard to test and play with a few antennas I had been working on. 
(Tnx Mike, KK5F-Multi-Band Dipole) The ATU in the KX1 tuned the dipole 
beautifully with ~3.5-4 watts out. I then wanted to try the 24' piece of 
wire & counterpoise 12-16' combination as I haven't had any luck with 
this in the house or hotel rooms. The power out jumped up to 7 w as 
measured on my OHR WM-2 ! Knowing that's not possible, I'm befuddled. 
(is that a real word ?)
   I know I saw this discussed several months ago on the reflector, so I 
tried an archive search. I couldn't find this topic. Question: Does 
anyone remember this and what the reason(s) were? Or, could someone 
direct me to that subject in the archives please?
   One more question please. Does anyone have a link to a source were I 
might purchase a new MFJ-259 ant analyzer? I've been meaning to buy one 
for several years and just kept putting it off. I usually bookmark this 
sort of stuff when I come across it on this reflector, but darned if I 
can find this link  that I also know has been beat to death on this 
reflector before.
   Tnx for the help !
