[Elecraft] KX1 1492

[Ed Lambert]

I recently completed the subject KX1. The process was typically Elecraft;
all parts were present, instructions clear and everything worked.
 
One question for the group regarding power output. I get 2.9 watts on 20 and
3.4 watts on 40 with a supply voltage of 13.5. Are these powers low enough
to warrant digging into the toroids (L1, L2, L3, T1)?
 
I am interested in the experiences of others who have been there.
 
(I measured the power into the Elecraft dummy load with a Fluke 189 and used
the correct formula, not the one on the dummy load instruction sheet.)
