Rick,
Certainly - to measure any LPF, here is how to do it, along with the K1
band board pin information:
In general, you just isolate the LPF, terminate one side and scan the
other side with the antenna analyzer. Conceptually it is easy.
What gets complicated is how to isolate the LPF - it dif

I am using the meter on the K1. I also have an MFJ Tuner/meter combo for
QRP that is not that accurate. I will be purchasing a new meter soon. Not
sure about the KAT1 issue, that is my next purchase along with the Battery
pack. Maybe Don/W3FPR could help answer this.

Yes please tell
Rick,
Thanks for that clarification on the supply voltage.
Yes, in most cases, the K1 will hear better than the FT-817.
You should be able to have 5 watts or more on 20 meters with that supply
voltage. You said you made some improvement by squeezing the turns on
the LPF, so the LPF may be your

How are you measuring the power output?
With my new K1 using a DL1 and KAT1 I get exactly the number of bars on the TX

Hi Don
13.8v. I get 7 watts on 40m and just want a little more for 20m. I am
happy with the little thing. Actually I was switching between my ft817 and
the K1. Maybe it is me but the K1 heard a little better. Or maybe it is just
me that I made the K1

Rick,
What is your power supply voltage? The K1 maximum output is quite
dependent on the supply voltage, so if you are using 12 volts instead of
13.8 volts, that may explain your 4.4 watt power output limit.

Well I worked on the winding spacing and got it up to a little over 4
watts, actually 4.4, so that did help. I sent off an email to Elecraft
yesterday when I posted this and no answer yet, maybe I will call them and
talk to Scott there. I have to get a couple of speaker slides, heck those

Hello Rick,
HNY2010.
When I had output power problems at 15m, not at 20m, I increased the output
power by 'tuning' the low pass output filter (L9/L10, L11/L12), suggested by
ELECRAFT. By bringing windings together I was able to get the required
output. It does not look as nice when having the w
Ok first let me this is the same K1 from earlier. The 40m portion works just
fine with 6ish watts out. Heck I even had one QSO to break it in.Now for the
20m, I did the alignments and can only get 2.5 watts out. Tried and tried
again to align it and can only get around 2.5 watts. It is getting lat
