[Elecraft] K2 No Power Output

I am just completing the build of K2 Serial No. 6397. Everything was 
going perfectly with all receiver tests and adjustments. Everything is 
in spec.

Then I started the transmitter tests. I set the output power control for 
2.0 watts. Beginning on 40 metres, I am supposed to be able to adjust L1 
and L2 to measure 2 watts on the internal power meter. I measure 0.1 to 
0.2 watts. Nothing I adjust or do changes this. My input voltage is 
13.6V with 250 mA on receive and 600 mA on transmit. I've taken a quick 
read through the Troubleshooting section, but I'm wondering if I'm just 
doing something stupid and only think I have a problem when I don't. 
Being new to the K2, perhaps I'm not setting something correctly.

Any tips for what I should do next?
