I added 19.5 ft of RG-58 coax formed into a 6 inch diameter coil between the rig and the LDG 1:1 balun. Meter results on ALC or RF for the dummy load and for the antenna are now the same.
Steps to the solution: 1. Get the transmitting BFO aligned with the built-in SSB filter in R and R-reversed modes. 2. Fix the R98 gain problems with the standard mod . 3. Added 0.01 uf capacitor on the VRFDET line in the shell of the connector between the K2 and the KPA/KAT. 4. Changed the RF path length from the K2 to the balun, providing a choke balun at the same time. Thanks to all that assisted in this venture!
