[Elecraft] K2: Problem 40 Meter Alignment -- SOLVED

[Don Wilhelm]

Jon,

That is the difference between 'average' and 'continuous'.  For SSB and 
higher speed CW (which are cyclical), that power supply will likely be 
adequate, but for a TUNE cycle (which is continuous), the current 
available will not be adequate.
