Hi all!

I´m right now getting near the end of my K1-project. Receiver works like 
a dream, but I think I´m getting mad when I´m trying to get ANY power 
out from the transmitter. The output meter shows P 0.1 and my WM-2 
wattmeter shows 0.000 mW....

I started to suspect that something was wrong with some of the toroids 
and I rewound and resoldered T4. Did the tranmitter alignment afain on 
10 MHz, and BANG! There it was! 2 watts of output power. I tapped the 
MSG button and pushed the two WPM buttons again to continue the 
alignment. No problems att all. I felt satisfied when the WM-2 showed 
roughly 2.2 watts of output and the the K1 display showed 2.5 watts.

That called for a celebration, so I tapped the MSG button again to abort 
"Tune" and went out to make myself a well diserved cup of coffee. I was 
out for about ten minutes and went back to the shack to continue with 
the transmitter alignment on 7 MHz. I just wanted to make another check 
on 10 MHz and I pushed the two WPM buttons again... K1 display showed P 
0.1 and the WM-2 showed zero output.

Now, what´s going on here? Is the rig re-aligning itself when nobody is 
looking at it or..?

Think I´m going insane here...
