Interestingly, my TS850S does this too... it's a well known bug in the TS850. The Kenwood problem is in the ALC circuitry, new rigs don't do this... it develops over time.
I'm not familiar with the K2 circuit, but it sounds like it could be a decoupling problem.

The output jumps all over the place. My amp does not like it either. When I posted about it, the response I got was that is "normal".
