[Elecraft] K2 power too high (won't reduce properly to 0.1W)

[MW0RSS]

I have recently become aware that my K2 (constructed by someone else) will
not reduce power to less than about 1W. I am also unable to reduce the
transverter output of the K60XV to a suitable level.

This means two things - firstly, I cannot easily do QRPp ops and secondly, I
do not have proper control of the low level drive to my recently purchased
KX50. I have set the low level output using the menu system (as suggested in
the manual) but it still drives the transverter to more than the specified
20W. The KX50 is being driven from the K60VX. 

The K2 indicates 0.1W when the power control is fully counter-clockwise but
it still puts out around 1W to the high level BNC output (the normal antenna
socket).

Can anyone please help? Does this sound like an alignment issue?

Many thanks, Pete
