----------------------------- Hmmm... Did you increase the 20 amp fast-blow fuse size Elecraft specifies, Vic? I just checked mine at full output (>100 watts) on all bands and see the following: 160M 17 A 80M 17 A 40M 15 A 30M 16 A 20M 15 A 17M 18 A 15M 18 A 12M 16 A 10M 17 A If you are really drawing 20 amps (or more), that suggests some issues with your output bandpass filters. Yes, the K2/100 is a bit more efficient than many rigs. I suspect that's why a lot of ops got the idea that the 20 amp Astron was too 'light' for it!
