Well, Bill, if your output needs are that low, I suggest you add the  
K60XV module and use the transverter outputs to drive your amplifier.

The K2 will go below .5 watts, but the power output at that level  
isn't super accurate.

THIS Bill Coleman has owned a K2/100 for over 3 years now. It's a  
fabulous radio. You won't be disappointed.
