Hi all,
I have been tweaking on my K2 for the last several days trying to get  
the transmit power up to snuff on 10 meters.  Right now, the best I  
can squeeze out is about 8.5 Watts.  I'm in pretty good shape on 12  
meters, about 10 Watts there, with max output of 14 Watts on 40m.  I  
have rewound and elevated T2, adjusted the turns spacing on the low  
pass filter toroids L21 and L22, and re-peaked the bandpass filters.   
8.5 Watts is as good as I can get.  Is this typical for a K2?  Is  
there something else I need to be looking at?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

73,
Mike, K4GU
