[Elecraft] K160 effect on 80/75m power

[Dan Schieler]

This may be normal, but wanted to check if others see a slightly reduced
power output at the high end of 75m after installing the K160 module.
After peaking L3 and L4 on 160m per the instruction manual, I notice
that on 80m around 3.5Mhz, when the K2 power is set to 10w, I can only
get about 9w out...and then at 3.99Mhz, I only can get about 8.5w out.
Not sure if this will matter since I'm now building the KPA100 and will
at most times be driving an amp at 60 watts from the K2/100, but curious
to see if this is normal or if there some other tweaking I can do to get
at least 10w on 75/80m when running without the KPA100.
 
At the same power setting I get at least 10w out on all the other bands,
including 160.
 
Thx
