Thanks for your insights. I'll take a look at all of what you have suggested.
I use the 20 watt scale, the next lower scale is 5 watts. The K2 and the
wattmeter agree on 10 watts on 30 meters, it's just the amount of current
that bothers me. I appreciate your help.
Thanks
Jim

Sorry, Don, I don't have the hang of this forum yet. My K2 is a bare bones
unit with the exception of the audio filter. I have a Diamond SX-200 power
meter and an MFJ-280C dummy load. It could be that it is wired for max
efficiency at 5 watts, but even at 5 watts, 30 meters stands out with
respect
I bought a K2, sn 01489 on ebay. Had to replace the PA transistors and
drivers and R50. Upgraded the firmware. Anyway, on 30 meters, at 5watts, it
draws 1.56a. At 10 watts, 3.42a. Also a bit high, I think is 40 meters which
at 10 watts draws 2.46a, and 15 meters at 10 watts, 2.30a. The rest of the
3 matches
