Greetings all;

I have completed a KX1 with all options. Everything has gone great except I am seeing lower power output than it should be. From a 12.5V power supply I am seeing just around 2.5W measured with a scope into a dummy load (as well as other power meters). Likewise on fresh alkelines, seeing power less than spec. I have been through support from Elecraft (great by the way), but not finding any problems. All other operational tests are fine, bought a set of toroids from toroidguy just so I could do a turn-by-turn count. I am stumped... I am about ready to send it in to elecraft, but hate to spend the $$. I saw on the list a lengthy discussion about increasing R30 to 33 ohms. Is this common? Any other common low output power issues I should look at?
