Greetings. I just completed my K2 build and the RX works great. Wish I would have done this years ago. One issue I noticed with the transmitter is that when I press the tune button, the output power will either be above or below the power control setting. I found this during the transmitter alignment phase of the build. If I have the output power set for 2 watts, I get 2.8 or 1.6. if I have the output set at 10 watts I get 9 or 5 watts. I am using an external watt meter and I verified that the voltage to the K2 is around 13.6 volts. This occurs on all bands by the way. I have checked RF voltages back to the control board at Q8 Valc and found that the output voltage , at this point, varies by a few tenths of a mv, thus changing the drive power down the line, changing the output power that changes the Valc output..... Round robin situation!! Anyone have a similar situation?
