[Elecraft] KX2 tx low power on 80M SSB

[Dave Jones]

Hello all I wonder if anyone has come across this problem that I have with my 
KX2. After initial turn on or after changing bands to 80M the tx power output is 
2W if the power setting is 10W or above. If I keep talking into the mic (MH3) 
and pressing and releasing the PTT then the power will gradually increase to the 
correct level. If the power is set to any thing below 10W then the power output 
level is correct.

The CW power output on CW is not affected at all and if I enable the CW on SSB 
feature not only does that give the correct carrier power output but the SSB 
power level is also correct after a brief press on the key. Once this has been 
done the power output is correct until the radio is turned off and then back on 
or the band is changed to another band and then back to 80M.

80M is the only band affected, all other bands give the correct output. 
Hopefully someone is able to help me with this problem.

Thank you Dave VK4FD
