Thanks Don,

I go back and forth between the internal and external batteries, so I'm not
crazy about this as the stated life is limited for the potentiometer. Having
said that, I dialed it back to get 4 watts into a dummy load and very weak
power on internal batteries.

Here's the strange part, my home antenna is a coax fed, parallel dipole, so
I need to run the tuner to get a match. When I run through the tuner, to a
non 50 ohm load, my power as indicated on the KX1 goes up to about 5.5
watts! As I recall, it used to ALWAYS go down my some small amount.

Thoughts?
