I just finished the KPA100 for my K2 this week. The K2 and associated
accessories were purchased within the last month. Without the KPA100, I get
10W or more on each band. Most bands provide about 15W, but 10M barely makes
the 10W rated output with about 10.5W. I think the K2 is just fine.

First question - is your KPA100 wattmeter properly calibrated? If not, this
can be the single source of your problem.
Second question - how are you determining power output? The K2 power display
will be from different sources when you add and remove the KPA100. If you are

Everything looks good. Might be wise to get a new set of thermal pads for
the finals as they are looking a little frazzled after a few bottom cover

Thanks for the reply. I have a pretty decent Daiwa power meter. It tracks
very well on the other bands and matches the displayed power output of the K2.
I think the power level displayed by both the K2 and the Daiwa meter are
correct. I do have a decent scope that I could use to verify t
Hey guys, here's the next (of many) questions.
How heavily used is the DMM during K2 building? I just finished my
first two mini-modules and used the DMM only a little - for resistance
checks. I've scanned through the K2 manual and it looks like a DMM is
used here & there for resistance checks

Rich,
Yes, it is easy to scan the KPA100 LPF with the MFJ259 or any other antenna
analyzer - and that would be the first step. Remove the AUX RF connector from
the K2 RF Board and insert a 51 ohm resistor leads into the connector going to
the KPA100 - then connect the analyzer to the SO239 and

I finished assembly and started the calibration and checkout. All my

Folks,
I may be missing something here, but with my understanding of SO2R
operation, one would not want to mute the receive K2 so that you could scan
for other stations while the transmit K2 is CQing or doing some other
semi-automated transmit task. In this situation, the solution would be to

Hi Dave,
I usually check the band up from the bottom, with a careful tune started

And I like to check about the time sunrise or sunset starts across the

I don't have any really good ideas about what may be wrong (other than to

Looking at the Rob Sherwood's receiver data table

K2s) and it was confirmed by one of our top grade contesters and
