I have been using my K2-100 for some months, and have been enjoying it a great deal. I recently began driving a linear and noted that the output power drifts quite a bit. This is not something that's noticed during "barefoot " operation but becomes noticeable when driving an amp.

If I set the power at about 70watts, and TUNE/Display into a dummy load
for about 10 seconds, I can see the power drift to 72, 74, 69, 72 all within that
span of time. It seem random, and is not a drift, but rather jumps up and down
every few seconds. I note the difference on the K2 panel as well as the output wattmeter.

I thought the supply may not be hefty enough, so I connected it to a 35 watt linear supply and it made no difference.

Any ideas? I've changed external supplies, cables, load ... heck, I even read the manual!
