[Elecraft] K1 power output on 15 meters

[Don Wilhelm]

The K1 should develop greater than 5 watts on any band as long as the 
power supply during transmit is greater than 12 volts.

I suggest turning to the Troubleshooting section of the Owner's manual 
and doing the Transmit Signal Tracing procedures to determine which 
stage is failing.   Once that stage is located, we may be able to help 
with further troubleshooting of that particular.

> 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!
