Pat, Something strange is happening here. First the facts of 'the case': 1) The KPA100 wattmeter should not be frequency dependent, and neither should your external wattmeter if it is functioning correctly. 2) Your KPA100 wattmeter apparently needs to be calibrated - use a good 50 ohm resistive d

Pat, If this condition is confined to 40 meters, check out the KPA100 specific information regarding the position of RFC10 (the one soldered to the antenna jack) on Tom Hammond's website www.n0ss.net . If it happens on all bands, then you have another problem, so ask again and provide more inform

Having problems with my kpa100 not tracking power with respect to the power knob on the K2. For example on 40m if the K2 says 40w the wattmeter shows 100 watts and the current meter on the power supply confirms the latter with ~18 amps. The leads me to suspect the power control circuit, but I'm
