[Elecraft] K2/100 power-out change

Late TKS VM to all who replied. I have the two cal cables from one of the former owners, and will attend to alignment and other tasks real soon now, including RTM ;o) It's been busy around here earning a living, and I've not had the enthusiasm of my youth at work-day's end. 73, Dave, N3HE

Rich, Further to my earlier posting. The resistor to change is R98 on the RF board. I have changed mine from 270 ohms to 1200 ohms and that completely removed the power hunting. Without doing this it is almost impossible to properly set up the KAT100 if you build one. Regards, Mike VP8NO ___

Rich, Dave, and all, This is 'usual' behavior for the K2 - it seems the power shifts by about 5 watts in high power mode. It is present, but not noticable in low power mode because the shift is only about half a watt which is a smaller percentage of the power setting. Checking the schematic

Hi, all concerned: I have two K2/100's (34XX and 37XX) which have 40M c-w-mode power-out variations at a rate of about once a second. For example, if I set 40W out, they will alternate from 35 to 40W. It happens on a dummy load, into an antenna, and makes driving an amp interesting ;o) Haven't
