Hi This looks good to me. The basic K2 power sensing circuit will not be exact. If you have the KAT2, KAT100 OR KPA100 the power calibration can be set almost perfect because of the better directional coupler type power meter circuit. The basic K2 uses a peak detector using a diode and a couple of precision resistors and some filtering. There are no adjustments with this circuit so it can vary a little from K2 to K2 mostly due to differences in the diode

BAND Power set on K2 @ 5W Power set on K2 @ 10W 160M (1.9 Mhz) 5.2W 10.9W 80M (3.750 Mhz) 5.3W 10.8W 40M (7.070 Mhz) 5.5W 11.0W 20M (14.100 Mhz) 4.5W 9.5W 15M (21.200 Mhz) 4.9W 9.3W 10M (28.500 Mhz) 4.3W 8.6W Is it these values are in the average with most builders ??? =============================================== Jean-François Ménard / VA2VYZ [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Elecraft K2 #4130 Amateur Radio Club of Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada Web site: http://homepage.mac.com/jfmenard<http://homepage.mac.com/jfmenard> =============================================== _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
