With the DL1, when you do the calculation to get the power level, what do you measure with? V-AC or V-DC?

After trying unsuccessfully to get email to take data in tabs, I ended up just putting the information on my website. Sorry for the trouble.

I was playing with an assortment of power meters, and noticed my K2 was reading lower than I expected. The closes things I had to a gauge, was an IC-703+ that had just been to the shop, and repaired, thus I felt it was likely to be putting out 10w.

When I compared a Bird 43 with an element I picked up on line, and one that came with it, it read a bit low. But when I used an MFJ949e, it was right on. Gotta run with what I have.

So I checked out the K2/100 at what it said was 10w/53w/111w (Full Power). And I got the results, that are displayed here;

The 10w settings seem a little bit more dispersed than I would have thought. The 10m, 12m & 20m 53w settings seem a bit low. Then at what the rig says is 111w/Full Power, the rig seems even lower.

Do I need to go back through and run the power calibration, or should I start troubleshooting?

I have a KAT100, that was powered down, and the power was taken out of the back of the K2/100.
