Bob,
It is difficult to tell you where to look. That message indicates that
there is less than 2 watts being produced.
If you have the power control set to less than 2 watts, that message can
be expected, just turn the power knob up for a 'cure'.
OTOH, it could be the result of damaged wattmeter diodes in the KAT2.
Give the wattmeter a check - Set the ATU menu to CALP and connect an
external wattmeter between the KAT2 and a dummy load.
Set the power to 5 watts and do a TUNE - what does the external
wattmeter read as compared with the K2 display. If the external
wattmeter reads 12 watts or greater while the K2 indicates less than 5
watts, then something in the KAT2 wattmeter has been damaged - the
diodes are the most likely suspects.

I searched the archives for this but did not find anything similar to the
situation with my K2. My radio is 10 years old now and works fine except
that occasionally, on any band I select (after being tuned up on another
band), when I press "Tune" to start the KAT2 autotuner I see the Lo P
error. To get past it, I just power the rig off, then on again, and I can
then tune the radio with no problem.
Is there anything I can do to the radio to remedy this?
