[Elecraft] KX-1 20m Deaf ?

[Leigh L Klotz, Jr.]

Others will have more extensive suggestions, but one easy thing to check 
is whether you have set it to LSB RX, which produces a marked quietness 
on 20M.

As for TX, 3W and 2W sounds about right for 12v.  Some folks get a 
little more, but not much.  You will also get more at 13.8v, of course.  
The lower output on 20M is as designed (which you probably read in the 
manual about the output filter toroid adjustment).

You search the list for KX1 R30 changes for discussion about some KX1s 
with low drive (e.g.
