[Elecraft] Power output keeps folding back to 5 watts on my KX2

[Don Wilhelm]

Tommy,

That is too much voltage drop.  Check all your power connections to be 
sure they are tight.  If the power supply terminals rotate even a little 
bit, open the power supply and tighten the terminals securely.

Since the KX2 power control tries to maintain the set power, if the 
voltage drops, it has to draw more current.  That means your KX2 may be 
exceeding the current limits due to the reduced voltage.
