Hi Fellow Elecrafters, How accurate have you found the internal power meter/wattmeter to be on the K2???
I ask this because there is a large difference between what I set the power for, on the K2, and what it displays as compared to the external meter (contained in a Ten Tec tuner, scale 0 to 200 watts, first division being between 0 and 10 watts). To get a half scale reading between 0 and 10 watts (5 watts) on the Ten Tec I have to set the K2's power level to over 8 watts. If I set the K2's power level to 5 watts I get an indication on the Ten Tec meter that falls below a half scale reading between 0 and 10 watts. In other words, appears to be less than 5 watts. I tend to want to trust the Ten Tec meter a bit more, since it has always given me a good indication while running powers up to 200 w and in accordance of what the power out was in a particular rig. Anyway, any comments would be appreciated. And, (maybe) should I just purchase a good QRP wattmeter kit or invest in a Bird/Byrd. Thanks In Advance, Mike KT2E K2 4777 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
