Jon,
I assume you have the KAT2 installed and set for AUTO.
If so, the K2 reduces the power to 2 watts during tuning of the ATU.
Yes, turning the power knob even a little will bring up the full power
setting - that is normal.

Hello all...
Long time no mailing list... I have a K2, with many addons, SSB,
etc, have not done much ham radio the past several years, but have
dusted things off and am working a few out there again.
Something I've noticed, is that when I use the tune button, to auto
tune the antenna tuner, I see about 5W output, no matter what the
setting is. If I touch the power knob, it instantly jumps to the set
power level. If I have the display set to read volts and amps, I
get the set power level when I tune.
Is this normal behavior, or do I have some kind of ALC level issue?
Would this affect my output on SSB, (or any mode) leaving me at 5W
despite my power knob setting? If this is a problem, was there a
solution?
As I type this, I almost feel I remember something about this,
perhaps a tune only power reduction in the SW, to protect things? Not
sure...
I don't even remember what my FW version is, will look later.
TIA...
Jon, KA6MOK
