Bill - I had this exact problem on my K2/100 during testing. Changing C1 varied the power output, but the SWR was fixed at 9.9-1. The problem was a short between the output of the two op-amps U5A and U5B that amplify and buffer the forward and reflected voltages before they go to the processo

Don - Thanks for the e-mail. I didn't clean the board, so that's OK. After I got your email, and the response of the reflector seemed to say that this isn't a common issue, I started to look at the schematic around U3. What I did notice is that the two switches share a common data line (D4) t
