[Elecraft] K2/10 SN#543 Lower Po on 15/17M

[Mark Adams]

Hi Gang,

During my last contest foray, I noticed that making Qs on 15M was difficult.
Turns out that with only about 50mW, it is! And 17M is likewise low. The
rest of the radio is FB. Also, the current draw on 15/17 is basically the
same in RX and XMIT.(My Astron's meter moves about one needle width.) The
Power Control has no effect on the 15/17 power levels.

I am hoping that there is some "common" problem that I can easily fix. Can
anyone point me in the right direction? I have an RF probe so I can trace
the signal to look for loss. Would be nice to start close to the expected
problem area.
