If the K2 does not have the KAT2 or 100 watt amp installed, the RF power indication is based on a simple RF voltmeter, and is very sensitive to the impedance of the load. If you do not have a very accurate 50 ohm dummy load connected, the K2's output meter will be inaccurate. -- 73, Vic, K2VCO Fresno CA http://www.qsl.net/k2vco ______________________________________________________________ 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
