[Elecraft] first post test and kx1 power issues

[AC8JW]

My bench voltage is 14 volts and battery is measured at 12.4 VDC

Tried a new and better dummy load and got 3watts on both bands with bench
supply and 2 watts on 40M and 3 watts on the battery.  

I used an RF probe on the output with the battery supply I got 5.6V on 14M
and 5.3 on 40M  These are pretty close. I am wondering if perhaps the W1 is
exaggerating the differences?  

I have since smoked the radio with probe so now will have to replace some
components for sure.  Dang!
