See what the K2's DISPLAY command says.

When you say that you can't get over 2 watts do you mean that

a) when you turn the power control all the way up it says 2 watts on the 
display, or

b) when you turn the power all the way up it says 15 watts, but your 
wattmeter shows only 2 watts?

Are you testing it by holding the key down, or are you pressing TUNE? 
Tune limits the power to 2 watts with current ffirmware.
