I haven't used my KX1 in a while, but I noticed it is running over 6 watts
when connected to a 13.8 volt power supply on 30 and 40 meters. 20 meters is
about 4.2 watts and 80 meters is between 4.7 and 5.0 watts. 

Is this excessive and will it cause damage or a dirty signal? If there is a
problem, where should I begin my search? Internal batteries generate
significanlty lower output:
80M 1.7W; 40M 2.5W; 30M 2.0W; 20M 1.8W
