Thanks for the fast reply Mike! I forget to mention My power supply puts out a rock solid 13.8V, K1 display indicated 13.4V key down.
Will look into the other items thanks.

DC supply voltage needs to be around 14 vdc. 2. All the filter board circuits must be peaked optimally. 3. The KAT1 power detection must be properly adjusted. Items 1 and 2 above are your first areas to check, since those affect significantly the actual (as opposed to indiated) power output. Worry about the power indication accuracy afterwards.
