[Elecraft] K2 - intermittent probem in RX and TX

[Don Wilhelm]

Werner,

Is that with the base K2 (no KAT2, no KPA100 and no KAT100)?
If so, is the K2 operating into a 50 ohm load?  With the bare base K2, 
the RF detector must see a 50 ohm non-reactive load to have good power 
indication.

The KAT2 or KAT100 or KPA100 have real wattmeters which fix that condition.
