Nr 5901 is alive and well after 12 days of fun assembling it.

However, the maximum power output on 80m is only 7w and on 40m it's only 9w.

When I built Nr 439 the Power output on most bands was 10/12 watts.

Up to now I've using the station rig FT1000MP as a signal source.
I'm awaiting delivery of the N-gen Wideband Noise Generator and the XG2 Three 
Band Receiver Test Oscillator.  So I'm expecting that these will help me to 
improve the calibration and squeeze out some more power.

I've studied the manual closely, but maybe I'm missing something.  Does anyone 
have any comments or suggestions?

It's not that I need the power because I'm getting very good on air reports 
and enjoying myself with QRP.  It's just that I want to get the K2 to do what 
I know it can do.
