Put the K2 into test mode (see manual page 100) and measure the key down TX
input power (disables PA).
I presume this shuts down 8T, which also takes out the driver and
pre-driver stages, and the PA bias, although the case for eliminating
the last one, from the DC input figure, might be marginal.
Your maximum allowed input power is 10W plus the figure measured.
Into a dummy load on 80m I get about 800mW maximum permitted output
using that method. I think that contest's rules just aren't K2 friendly!

RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam,
that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
