Subject: Low power KX1


I am very new to the world of CW.  Several months ago I built a KX1.  Once I
was able to receive with it, I built the 30-80 band set, and once it was
installed and working, I built the ATU.  With the ATU was the first time I
was able to measure power.  I am only getting .4W out of internal, and 1W
with a 13 volt power supply.  So I did the power modification changing the
resistors, and now I get .6 internal and 2W with 13V.
 
I could sure use some advice.  I do not have a bridge or watt meter.  I do
have a good scope   Can I measure the signal voltage across 50 ohms?
 
Thank you in advance.
