It's irrelevant what the output of an amp is because it's a function of
gain.
Meaning if you want 100W output and you have a rig capable of producing
10W output then you need at least
a 10 to 1 ratio. The bread and butter of any transceiver is its
receiver. If you can't hear em, you can't
Well,
I own a very good transceiver (IMHO at least; an Icom IC-781) permanently
connected to a vintage but outstanding Collins 30L-1 Linear Amplifier.
I have to say that i work only in CW. There i will have about 100W barefoot,
and about 400W if i switch on the 30L-1.

All,
I have been trying to get a handle on how well my K2 controls output power
for a long time. I have finally acquired an LP-200 Wattmeter/Dummy load
combination in order to provide a reasonable measure of this characteristic.
The results are below:
For a setting of 5 watts

Fran,
You most definitely have a problem somewhere in that K2. We cannot begin to
guess where in the transmit chain the fault lies, so I recommend that you
turn to the Preparing for Transmitter Signal Tracing in Appendix E of the K2
manual and begin there. In the steps that you will be
All the rave reviews, great reports, and
extraordinary K2 reviews - always deal with the
K2's receiver. Never much at all about the
transmitter capability. From your readings, and
QRP power levels - one would think it would
be controlled better than your power meter/dummy
load have shown? If
