[Elecraft] KAT2

RC,

Re-do the power and SWR calibration, and then try it into a 50 ohm dummy
load.  Tell us what you find.
I know that is not an answer to your total problem, but there has to be a
starting point, so verify that calibration first and we can go from there.

In case you cannot achieve a good calibration, it may be that there is a
relay that is not operating - usually due to an unsoldered relay pin.  I
know it is difficult to check those pins because they are under the
inductors and capacitors, but it may just have to be done - we will see
after you re-do the calibrations.
