Robin,
There is no difference in the K2 SSB generation from one band to
another. That means it the K2 is capable of full power in CW mode, and
the K2 works fine on SSB on all other bands, it should work just fine in
SSB on 160 meters.
Is there any chance that your wattmeter is responding
Hi Don,
I doubt there is any problem on the watt meter as it's working fine on other
radios for 160m.
Another reason I suspect it is a K2 issue is because the K2 bar graph LED
hardly lights on 160m SSB Tx, whereas on 80m and up I can easily get 4 or 5
bars with normal LSB speech on Tx. It's
Robin,
It is possible for the K2 to have lower transmit RF gain on 160 meters,
but then since you can obtain full output by whistling into the
microphone the K2 RF cahin has adequate gain on 160 meters. The highest
gain through the K2 transmit stages is normally at 40 or 30 meters
although
