[Elecraft] K2 Power Calibration

[Cathy James]

I have been playing around with the K2 since finishing it.  No 
successful QSOs yet, but I blame the bands, my limited operator skills, 
and limited operating time rather than the rig.

However, while testing, I noticed that my MFJ-941E claims that the K2 is 
putting out about 10 W on 40 meters when the K2 power setting reads 5.0, 
and the -941E claims 5 W out at about 3.3 on the K2 display.  I don't 
know which one to trust, since the -941E is certainly not calibrated to 
any significant accuracy.  Still, I have generally found the -941E's 
reading to correlate well with the published power from my other rig.

Any ideas as to why the K2 power display on the LCD could be that far 
off, if indeed it is?
