Hi I have a bare foot K2 that I only use for digi modes (Normally PSK) I run about 10 Watts Max on peaks. I don’t seem to have many problems getting qso's at this power level, I just a have a 1/2 size windom up at about 25ft here . Never really needed more power than that, make sue your signal is not over driven and nice and clean to make sure its readable at the other end. Good luck Paul M0BMN K2 2908, K2/100 (Nearly Now!) 5324, K1 2139, & KX1 379

I am only running between and 5 and 10 watts, or so out on 20 meters and haven't been having much luck making contacts. Previously I had used a Yaesu rig putting about 40 eatts into the same antenna and had no trouble at all making contacts. I have almost completed a 35 watt amplifier (HFPacker amp, I think its called) so I can get a bit more ooomph. I was wondering if you or anyone else is using the K2 barefoot and if so how you were doing with psk31?
