Ted,
The lower voltage of the battery pack is the reason.
If you are using NiMH batteries, the voltage is likely about 9.6 volts,
and may be even lower during transmit.

Just added the battery option to a K1 and noticed something interesting. When
operating on battery power, no matter how the output power is set the actual
power out is limited to about 2.0 watts. It would make sense if this were a
battery power conservation strategy; but I couldn’t find anything about it in
either the battery option manual or the K1 manual. Is this the designed
behavior?
