[Elecraft] 160 meter low transmit

[W3FPR - Don Wilhelm]

Don,

It would appear that you may have something wrong in the 160 meter low pass
filter.  Count the turns on the toroids, and check the capacitors for the
correct values.

You are measuring the power output with a good 50 ohm dummy load, are you
not?  If you are attempting to feed an antenna, the power output may be
real, but the problem is the feedpoint impedance of the antenna and not the
K2.

Please povide ua with more information of what does and does not work, if we
are to offer more specific assistance.

73,
Don W3FPR
