Hello all,
I have finally gotten to the final alignment portion of my K2 and have found power out problems on 3 bands, 80, 15, and 17 meters. The measurements follow:

Band:        2 watts setting           5 watts setting         10 watts setting

80 m.         2.0watts  out            1.8 watts  out             1.8 watts out
20 m.         2.0 watts  out           5.4 watts out              10.7 watts out
30 m.     .   2.5 out                       5.8 out                        10.6 out
20 m.         2.3 out                       5.3 out                        10.6 out
15 m.         2.0 out                       1.9 out                         1.9 out
17 m.         2.0 out                       3.9 out                          4.0 out
10 m.         2.2 out                      5.2 out                         10.2 out
12 m.         2.0 out                      5.2 out                        10.3 out

All power at the 2 watt output setting was adjustable at the designated pots or capacitors. 
The rig had 13 vdc input and transmitting into a 50 ohm dummy load.
Looking forward to suggestions.
