[Elecraft] K1 20m power out

The most likely problem is misalignment of band 2 of the KFL1-2.  Perform a realignment of the 20m portion per the K1 manual.

Don't waste too much time optimizing the settings of the KFL1-2 for maximum receiver sensitivity.  The same inductances must be adjusted for maximum transmitter power output, and those adjustments are far far more critical.

OR...for a direct simple shortcut, put the K1 on 20m in TUNE mode and peak L3, L4, L7, and L8 for maximum power output.
