[Elecraft] K1 power output on 15 meters

[Dale Putnam]

the K1 has the ability to produce only slightly less power on 15m. 
AND it has the ability to handle up to 15v input.. which helps make more power 
on 15m. 
  Most K1s that I've had here can make 4+ watts on 15m. However, at that same time
the reception difference between 2 to 4 watts out.. is not a whole lot. 
The drop off of power on 15 has always been there on the K1s, however, usually not so much
as you are seeing, when the voltage input is kept close to 15v in without current limitation by the power supply. 


Have a great day,

> What should the power output be from a K1 set to maximum power on 15 meters? I can only get 2 watts. This seems too low. With the same K1 and a 40/20 module I get 6 watts on both bands.  I've checked the 30/15 module for any errors but it looks good. 30 meters produces 6 watts.  Any suggestions where to look? Thanks all!
