[Elecraft] K2 T1 tuner operation question

[lstavenhagen]

Hi all,

I got my T1 tuner from Elecraft yesterday (bought the built/tested version
to speed things up hi) and have a question about operating it.

When it's tuning, the K2 power output tends to go bonkers. It often gets up
to slightly scary levels while the tuner is still negotiating pretty high
SWR's. I've had it at full 15W output at the end of the tune, even tho I
started off with the power set at 1W.

My question is, is there a way to keep this from happening or at least
moderate it a bit? I suspect it's normal for a transmitter's current flow to
increase during high SWRs, but I don't want to stress my transmitter any
more than necessary.

Or perhaps I should just go with the internal ant. tuner - does it do the
same thing?

Other than that it seems to work great....

Tnx es 73,
LS
