Mike, You are the only one who can determine this. Everyone else is reduced to guessing because they don't have access to your PSU/K2/power lead. Simple: Measure the PSU voltage on RX at the PUS terminals. Measure the PSU voltage on TX set to 100W at the PSU terminals. Compare both

Don... The power supply is an MFJ 13.8V/25A switching power supply. It measures 13.63V at the terminals. The K2 shows 13.1V in receive mode. During transmit on all bands, the K2 shows 11.3-11.9V, depending on the band. All the power connections appear to be tight. Thanks, Mike NJ2OM

Okay. I will go back to your first reply and run through the items you suggested. Does the fact that on 40 and 80 meters, when I set the requested power to 100w, I actually see a little more - like 103w - but the power drops off on other bands - is that a clue to anything? Thanks, Mike NJ2OM
