Bob, As I stated in my original reply to Jon, that is not the best solution (in fact it can lead to trouble) for any transceiver that controls the power output by altering the BFO injection level to the balanced modulator ( the K2 does that). Transceivers that control the output *after* the balanced modulator stage will operate nicely as you state, but the K2 (and K3) control the output level prior to the balanced modulator, and will have trouble if used that way. Set the power to the level that is desired and then adjust the audio for no ALC for digital modes.
