HI Cathy, Let's slip back to basics for just a sec, can you get QRP levels from the K2 by itself? with the coax/dummy load connected to the back of the qrp K2? With the power connected to the qrp K2 also, does the qrp power appear as expected on the SO239 of the KPA100?One if these fail, that would provide a direction to look.Keep in touch.. these should be fun, not frustration..
