[Elecraft] K2: Debugging low transmit power

[Owen B. Mehegan]

Hi Brian -

I haven't tried transmitting on any other band yet, but your
description of only getting about .5 watts out when you tune, and L1 and
L2 having no effect on this, mirrors my own.

Tonight I will begin tracing the circuit with the RF probe. I also have
access to some more sophisticated test equipment at a friend's house, so
if I can't make any progress on my own I'll enlist his help. I am
concerned that my cheap-o Harbor Freight DMM will not work with the RF
probe, but my friend has a Fluke which should be more than adequate.
Hopefully I won't have the same frustrations you've had Brian. I'll be
sure to post an update on my progress tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks for your reply Don!
