[Elecraft] K2 alignment confusion...

[DolfinDon at msn.com]

Hi

You must set the power control to about 1/2 scale and hold the tune button 
to get into tune mode then as you tune L1 and L2 as the power comes up 
readjust the power pot up or down a little to make the MPU re-measure the 
power. You should reach a point where L1 and L2 will peak. If this does not 
work and you got a peak when doing the receiver test earlier then you have a 
problem in the transmitter somewhere. Usually a bad solder joint on a toroid 
or a missed solder joint. Look at the relays it is easy to miss pin one on 
the relays as they look like feed throughs

I am at the 40-meter transmitter alignment stage in Alignment and
Test, Part III.

It instructs me to "Place the K2 into tune mode and activate the
built-in wattmeter by holding "TUNE".  Using the alignment tool,
adjust L1 for maximum output."  And, do the same with L2, etc. etc. etc.

Any direction would be appreciated.  This build has checked out on
every step to  date...but I'm stumped.
