Jack, Each time you move the power control, it takes 2 to 3 dots for the power control circuits to level out to the requested power - TUNE does not do that like keying (or speech) does, so if I understand what you are observing, that may be normal - just give it a bit more keying time to level out the power.
If your operation is mostly at the home station, and you do not operate QRP portable, then I suggest you put the KPA100 on the K2 and use the KAT100 in the short enclosure. OTOH, if you want a QRP K2 that you can quickly pick up and take with you, then you will want the EC2 KPA100/KAT100 package. 73, Don W3FPR Jack wrote: > Hi all > > I just rejoined this list so if these matters have been covered > recently, my apologies. > > 1.
