I can offer no real suggestion with that sketchy data - other than ti 
say "it is not working right:>).

To obtain more information about where it is failing, I suggest you turn 
the manual to Appendix E and do the Transmit Signal Tracing steps 
indicated there.  You will need an RF Probe or a 'scope with the 10X 
probe.  The expected values listed are for an RF probe.  If you are 
using a 'scope, multiply those values by 3 to obtain the approximate 
peak to peak RF voltage indicated on a 'scope.

What you are looking for is the first stage where the RF voltage is 
substantially less than the expected values.  That is the output of the 
stage that is giving trouble.

Since you have the lowest output on 30 meters, I suggest you use that 
band instead of 40 meters.

Be certain to connect a dummy load on the K2.  Do not use an antenna.
