initial symptom was the autotuner would lock up/ & reset the
radio when tuning ...only on 40 , so I ordered the PA upgrade kit...
when running the k2 @ qrp .. the swr reads correct and the PA is
basically out of the circuit,.,,,,"1.3" .... this is on 40. both on
the set AND THE LP-100
now my LP100 is giving me a big clue what is going bad in my K2/100 PA.....
The problem is that I still don't understand enough of the basics../..
but when i dial up over 15 watts the swr reads 9.98 !!! but when i
go back to under 15 watts .... the swr reads correctly...(LP-100)
I know something is wacky in the kpa100.... and i thought it was in
the tuner...
I have just completed the last of the upgrades to the KPA , but it
appears to not have helped...
oN TYHE k2/100 the swr seems to read double when on the PA vs the
qrp,....on the other bands , but 40 has bigger /*issues...such as
locking up the autotuner... .which was the original sympton...
on 20 ,,,ssb xmit on , no modulation.... I get 9.9 swr on the
lp-100 ...but when i modulate i get the real 1.6 swr ....
and on the dummy load everything is fine ,,,,,,& none of the other
radios including another k2/100 split in a EC2 case have problems
with the antennas....
AND I WAS WANTING TO START MAKING CABLES FOR THE K3....
