All, My K2/100 (s/n 6k) has an issue with RF output control vs DC input power. When operating in the range of 1 - 10 watts (lo power), I draw what seems to be a reasonable amount of DC power, and the "tune" control works as it should, reducing the output power to approx 2W while the KPA-100 does its thing.
Once I set the radio to 11 watts or above (hi-power), all bets are off. I am drawing approximately 15 A for 11 watts out pulling over 24A at 30W, and the "tune" function no longer reduces the output power while tuning. If set to 20W out, the "tune" function indicates no reduction in and will tune at 20W. The same for any other power range. My question is, besides D-16 and D-17, where else should I be looking for issues? Note, I do get an occasional "Hi Current" warning while operation in the 1 - 10 watt range. Thanks in advance for ay help, Gene K1NR --------------------------------------------------------------------- Web mail provided by NuNet, Inc.
