I've noticed that with my K2 the power increases with highter swr.  While 
adjusting the tuner as the swr goes up the power increases and sometimes 
doubles and when going down the power goes down.  Just last night, I was 
running 5 watts and switched to another antenna. I forgot to tune the antenna 
before transmitting and the transmit power went from 5 to 10 watts because, of 
the higher swr.  I've noticed this before.  Is this normal?  It seems to make 
more sense for the opposite to happen.
