[Elecraft] K2 4777 comes to life and a question

[Mike Monger]

Hi Fellow Elecrafters,

K2 4777 came to life a couple of days ago (Monday)with my 80 mtr loop (used on all bands) and has since made itself known in MA(80 mtrs), ME(80 mtrs), PA(40 mtrs), TX(40 mtrs), MD(40 mtrs), Switzerland(40 mtrs), Bosnia(40 mtrs) and Spain(40 mtrs).  I was running 10 watts when I made the first contact in MA on 80 mtrs.  Since then I have run 5 watts to work the other stations.  And, (I must add) there were some fair pileup condx on the Switzerland and Bosnia stations but I was able to snag them on the second or third try.

Question:  Do any of you K2 users notice an increase in power or current level when you put the K2 into tune mode and monitor one or the other???
