My K2 will usually go down to 100mW, but it's a borderline power level and pretty touchy. When I go into the TUNE position, it will sometimes indicate not enough power to make an SWR measurement. I've found it more reliable and accurate to set it at 1W, and use a 10dB pad on the output. If you're driving another stage with the K2, the 10dB pad will provide excellent isolation and your K2 will never see more than a 2:1 SWR. The only problem is in the receive mode; you'll have to switch out the 10dB pad for best receive performance.
Hope this answers your question. 73, ed - k9ew
