Evening All, I neglected to mention this one piece of information with my issue on the K2/10. The pinning of my Wattmeter happens when I have the K2 connected to my outside antenna in this order: K2 to Wattmeter to outside antenna. This is after I do a tune and get a low SWR. My K2 DOES have the KAT2 tuner installed. My antenna is a simple G5RV Jr. I originally said that I had it connected to a dummy load and that was happening. Sorry about that.
I did connect the K2 to my Wattmeter, and then to my Dummy Load, and power output was within a Watt or so on different power settings. So, that tells me the Wattmeter is calibrated within tolerances and the power out appears to be accurate. I also verified this with my other HF radios, both kit AND commercially produced. Still, I wonder what would cause my Wattmeter to be pinned at 5W when transmitting into an actual antenna? The Wattmeter is the QRP Wattmeter from Oak Hills Research, and the 100 W dummy load is from them as well. 73, David KC9EHQ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
