I'm becoming more active in QRP contesting and need to make sure that my power is <5W. I thought I was aligned ok until I put my LP100A into the shack (what a wonderful instrument). When Power Control = 5.0, the LP100A = 3.0. Now, I want to be below 5.0, but not that low! To reach LP100A = 5, Power Control must be set at 7.5 (40m) and 8.5 (20m). This is with the ATU = Cal(P), which removes the matching circuits. The dummy load is a MFJ-264; the LP100A SWR = 1.13.
I'm okay with cranking Power Control to 8 to get 5w, but would prefer to have the setting be closer to the acutal power out. I've searched the archives and can't find a similar problem. I looks like there is a component problem in the Power Control circuitry, but I'm not sure how to find it. I know there are lots of K2 owners out there and hope someone can provide suggestions as to where to start. 72, Clark WU4B K2 #6011 -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
