[Elecraft] [K2] Gain variation by band with K2SB

[Bill Coleman]

During the recent NAQP RTTY contest, as I changed bands I noticed a  
lot of variation in the output of my RTTY signal as I changed bands.  
On 80 and 40m, I needed lot less audio input to get full output (40w)  
than on 20m, and a lot more on 15 and 10m.

This required a lot of attention. If I changed bands upward, then I  
might only eke out a couple of watts. If I changed bands downward, I  
could overdrive the rig into ALC action.

Is this normal and expected? I'm using the K2SB with RTTY mode, so the  
audio compression is off.
