Ariel, Do not be too quick to conclude that there is something wrong with the base K2. The basic K2 uses only an RF voltage diode to display the power output, and it may not be exact - it depends on the load and may vary from band to band - if it only off by a watt or two, then all is OK That is bypassed when the KAT2 or KPA100 is installed.
Yes, do check with the external wattmeter - both with and without the KPA100. I still think KPA100 diodes D16 and D17 are highest on the suspect list with other KPA100 wattmeter components being second on that list. 73, Don W3FPR On 10/25/2012 11:18 AM, Ariel Jacala wrote: > Thanks to Jim, Vic and Don for the return comments > > I disconnected the KPA100 and put on the K2 top with the KAT2 ATU.
