[Elecraft] K2/100 Problem on 80 meters

[Steve Ellington]

An SWR meter that goes up wildly after releasing the key is a sign of a possessed meter! It makes no sense. Do you have another tuner you can experiment with?

  Well I spoke about the SWR meter on my MFJ-949E. If I send Cw, when I release the key, the reflected power needle goes up wildly.. sign of a high SWR...

    Help me understand....You stop keying and the SWR meter swings wildly? Are you talking about the SWR meter on your tuner?

      Hi to all

      I have a problem on my K2/100 that manifests itself only on 80 meters: 

      If I operate QRP at 10 watts, I can match my antenna with a manual tuner, the SWR is very good near 1:1, and the rig operates smoothly.
      But as soon as I switch (via power control) to QRO, without changing the settings on the tuner, the reflected power needle swings wildly as soon as I stop keying, even at only 11 watts. 

      For all other bands (40 up) the rig works fine QRP or QRO.

      I would like to know where to look at.. ?

      Thanks for your help!
