Any chance you got too much solder on the contacts?

What Dick mentioned is entirely true in my experience, but I might add
that the condition should be corrected promptly. The fact that the

the large gauge wire.And it didn't make the right connection.

Hello all,
I've had K1 S/N 2594 on the air for a few months now and having a blast. Great
transceiver. Thanks elecraft!
But I'm curious about the power output scale. I have Out set to 5 W. I'm on
40m. My antenna SWR is about 1.7:1 at 7.00
and 7.15 MHz and dips smoothly down each way to about
One experiment to try is to transmit into a dummy load of 75 -100 or so
ohms. The idea is to produce a consistent SWR other than 1:1 to see how
things behave in non-ideal, but consistent circumstances. I am not sure
what you will see, but the results might help with understanding.

Dan,
The varactors are changed simultaneously, so the voltage on one should
be the same as the voltage on the other. A low voltage should be
applied when BAND- is tapped and the capacitance will be at a maximum,
then when BAND+ is tapped, the voltage is made high and the varactor
Elwood,
The K1 (without the KAT1) uses a diode detector to determine the amount
of RF Voltage at the output (just like using an RF Probe). The power is
calculated in the microprocessor with the assumption that the load is 50
ohms resistive.
Of course, your antenna is not likely to be 50

936 works great and is relatively inexpensive.
The K3 provides an internal 2-tone generator for SSB transmit IMD
testing.
We just discovered that it was not working with the 2.7 kHz filter. One
of the tones would in this case be right on the filter's edge,
resulting in very poor tone balance. Also, 2-tone testing was set up to
