A similar topic came up a few months back, but I can't find an answer to my question in the archives.
I have a QRP K2 with KAT2, running to a Hustler vertical (which is not purely resistive - typically has C=6 R=40, more or less). I have noticed recently that the LED power bargraph shows more than 5 (lights the next segment) when I have the power set to 5.0. Using the ATU's Pout mode, it tells me about 5.8 - 6.1 F ... I'm wondering why the K2 isn't controlling the power better? Or is this as close as it gets? I notice that if I turn on TUNE and adjust POWER to bring the output down a bit (back to about 5.0, it's pretty jumpy), then the power out seems to get back in sync, for a while - but not for long. I'm not particularly concerned with how accurate the Pout is - last time I checked, I had calibrated it reasonably well. I'm concerned about the difference between what I dial in and what the K2 itself measures. Does this sound at all familiar? It almost feels like a firmware issue. I have 2.03d 1.07. 73 de chris K6DBG _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
