Hello,

    I've been doing a bit of operation with my K2 lately.  It really is a 
joy on CW, and it fits perfectly under my big computer
monitors.  But I have noticed....   On 40M, it does 101W out.  But on 
20, only 63W.  This is measured with a Telepost LP-100A vector
wattmeter.  The SWR is 1.4 to 1.

   And it's not just gain decreasing with rising frequency, because it 
does 92W on 15M, 76W on 10M.

   Guess it's time to get out the schematics...  But before that, I 
should redo the test with a dummy load.
