---------------- First make sure trimmer pot R4 is fully CLOCKwise now. Check the two inductors wound on yellow cores: L1 and L2. L1 should have 13 turns and L2 14 turns. It's easy to get them reversed! Finally, while transmitting into a dummy load adjust the position of the turns on L1 and L2 for best balance between 20 and 14 meter output. They should be within 1/2 watt of each other, and can usually be closer. That will often improve the overall output. I am not aware of any adjustment for the output monitor in the KX1. The KXAT1 ATU, which displays the power out in watts, is adjustable.
