Re: [Elecraft] [K1] Reduce power when tuning K1?

Doug, The reduced power is a consideration for the internal tuner relays, not just for the PA transistors. If you have the internal tuner installed, that power reduction is automatic.  For the K2/10, it is 2 watts and for the K1 it is 1.5 watts. If you are using an external tuner, then

[Elecraft] [K1] Reduce power when tuning K1?

In learning about my new-to-me K2, I find that there is discussion about automatic reduction of transmit power during tuning. Does that apply to the K1 as well? The K1 uses the same output transistor as the K2, but in a single-transistor class C configuration, compared to the K2 which uses two
