Ken, The power reduction algorithm is in the K2 firmware, but it is not active unless the KAT2, KAT100 or KPA100 are installed. It would take a firmware change to limit the power with all TUNE operations, and those of us who repair and align K2s would miss the ability to dial in any power level with those options removed, but I guess we could get along if TUNE limited the power all the time. To further complicate matters, several of the manual Alignment and Test procedures and the Troubleshooting section would have to be changed as well.
I do not believe Wayne Burdick has time available to change the firmware right now, but he may be willing to add it to the 'wish list' for the next firmware upgrade. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > Hi Mark and Leigh, > > I'm using an Elecraft T-1 external tuner, which I also > use (less and less) with an FT-817.
