[Elecraft] K2 Low Power Out / Hi Current

[Don Wilhelm]

Jeremy,

T4 being off the board should not make any difference.  Are you 
operating into a dummy load that is 50 ohms pure resistive, or are you 
operating into an antenna?  The base K2 needs to operate into a 50 ohm 
resistive load for good power control and a proper impedance.

If you are operating into an antenna, use your antenna analyzer and 
adjust your tuner for a 50 +/- j0 impedance.
