I am now doing my transmitter alighment, page 75, and have a have run into a problem with it.
On 40 meters when I set the power to 2 watts and press and hold the tune button the power out shown is abt 2.5 on the first hold of tune, if I do it a second time it comes up abt 2.6 and then if I do it a third time it comes up correct about 1.9. The cycle contines, it seems that about every three times I press tune I get 1.9.
The same goes for 5 watts ( 5.8, 6.0 and 4.9) and 10 watts (11.2, 11.4, 9.8).
The currents look ok, 2 watts @ 1.28a, 5 watts @ 1.7a and 10 watts @ 2.2a (give or take a little depening on the power out.
On 80 meters it's doing the same.
On 20 meters 2 watts is doing the same, but I get hi current 5 watts and above.
On 15 meters Hi curret on all 2, 5 and 10 watts.
On 10 meters , the same but here I get max out of only 4.9 watts.
The rf out looks good on a scope. Dummy load is ok, SWR 1:1. I've had a few cw contacts so far. It's a basic K2.
Has anyone comes across and any ideas?
Also, is there a way to do a search on the complete archives or do I have to do it by month?
