Turned on my K2 after about 4 months of not being used. No evident output
power! The rig has worked well without issues for several years since I built
it.
Checked with dummy load and was actually putting out about 200mW. Searching
archives, found similar problem mentioned with Don suggest
Tomy,
What happens into a 50 ohm dummy load?
Do you see any HI CUR messages?
Has it always been this way? Or is this a new failure?
Is your power supply voltage dropping significantly during transmit?
If you power the K2 only through the 2.1mm coaxial power jack (remove
the APP connector from
I have lower output on all bands except 75 meters. I get 115 watts output on
75, and about 65 to 75 watts on all the other bands. Does not matter what
antenna I use the swr is about 1.2 to 1 on all bands. The serial number is
3213. Any ideas would be helpful!
Thanks

I have one the early early K2's (SN:247) that's been on the air since 1999
and so believe it or not, I just finally put it on a QRP watt meter to see
what it was putting out and was surprised to see it was a pretty consistent
7-8 watts on all bands. It doesn't seem to make any difference if I raise
OK,
I confess that after building control and receiver circuits [carefully]
with no problems, I wanted to believe the rig was 100% after initial
transmitter alignment. I put the rig on the air and made contact immediately.
THEN: a friend loaned me his OHR WM-1 wattmeter so I could actua
