I have a dummy load that I made up out of 10x 510 ohm resistors in parallel [51 ohms, 30w]. I checked this with my MFJ 259B that says it's flat on all the HF bands. I then hook this load directly to the output jack and measure the voltage across it using the K2 RF probe and a DMM. I calculate the expected RMS voltage as a function of power. I then increase K2/100 power until I see the expected voltage [power], and then set R26 so that the LCD shows the "correct" power.

This all sounds okay in theory. Does any one have a comment on the accuracy of the setting using this method and/or "hidden variables" that I may have missed? Thanks much.
