My first suspicion would be the test setup. How are you measuring power? What supply voltage? What's it drop to on Key down or Voice Peaks? What's the current Tx? What's the load?

Just finished the conversion of my K2 to a K2/100. On SSB, power seems quite robust, with my wattmeter showing 70~80 watts on voice peaks (I would have expected about 40~50). On CW, I'm only getting about 40~50 watts dead key (I would have expected 100). It seems like this is backwards from every radio I've ever owned, and I can most certainly live with this. I got every upgrade available (resistors, caps, etc.) before starting the build so all parts/firmware are current as of July 2005. I really don't want to go back inside since everything else is performing quite flawlessly. But in the event I ever have to go back inside in the future for another reason, what should I look at as the culprit?
