I finally finished my K2 and installed the various accessory pieces. I had two
problems both solved with the reapplication of a soldering iron!!! It's a
great little radio and I enjoy breaking DX pile ups and rag chewing at the 5
watt level.
I have a question regarding the power control. I can adjust the power in 0.1 w
increments per the manual. However for example, if I set the level at 5.0w the
resultant output is usually higher. Sometimes by almost a watt. Other times it
will be a little lower. I am using the ATU that is calibrated properly. From
band to band the same power isn't always the same with no adjustmnet to
control. Wonder if RF is getting in the ATU control circuitry or the feedback
path from the RF board?
Otherwise the radio is a joy to operate.
Happy New Year to all,

The SWR bridge likely makes all measurements with an assumed 50 ohm
resistive load. With a reactive load I would assume that your mileage
will vary. Or as said by someone else, accuracy can likely only be
assured into a 50 ohm dummy load that is resistive (no complex impedance).
