Thanks to Don and Geoff and the everyone on the Elecraft reflector,

Seems R98 was the main culprit with my K2 fault bad solder joint though
looked ok. Resoldered several others in the area of Q5.

Now 90%+ there

Now have at least 15W max up to 15M and then 9.7W 12M and 6.7W on 10M

Also had my first contact with my K2 callbacks for the VK2WI news broadcast
on 40M SSB, reported a little scratchy but at least it worked.

Checked on the BAL function on SSB and the audio sounds good using the MH2
Microphone.

Can't detect a carrier so carrier balance seems good.

Also notice on the power setting control without transmitting 12M and 10M
only go to 10W while all the others go to 15.2W is that normal?
