Don,
A logical suggestion. I already have made the RF Probe and it's ready to
use. I was hoping the cause of no power might be something simpler. I
will start troubleshooting in my next work session.

Murray,
I suggest that you build the RF Probe that was included with the K2
kit. The schematic is shown on page 9 of Appendix E along with the
assembly instructions.
After that, start on Appendix E page 12 - Preparation for Transmitter
Signal Tracing and follow the steps shown there.

I am just completing the build of K2 Serial No. 6397. Everything was
going perfectly with all receiver tests and adjustments. Everything
is in spec.
Then I started the transmitter tests. I set the output power control
for 2.0 watts. Beginning on 40 metres, I am supposed to be able to
adjust L1 and L2 to measure 2 watts on the internal power meter. I
measure 0.1 to 0.2 watts. Nothing I adjust or do changes this. My
input voltage is 13.6V with 250 mA on receive and 600 mA on transmit.
I've taken a quick read through the Troubleshooting section, but I'm
wondering if I'm just doing something stupid and only think I have a
problem when I don't. Being new to the K2, perhaps I'm not setting
something correctly.
Any tips for what I should do next?
