10 Meter power

[William M. Spaulding, SR]

Thanks to Don and David for their responses.  Once I spread the turns on L21 and L22 I noted a couple of dB of gain.  Then I got really serious with my measurements using my 3585.  The '85 said something just over 40 dBm - 10 watts.  So I quit fiddling and am ready to work on the K2 auto-tuner.

Thanks for the pointers, guys,

Bill

In process of upgrading K2 #2117.  

Installed BFO and PLL thermal upgrade kits.  All was
well.  Then I put in the new firmware.  It came up ok
with INFO 201 and then Elecraft.  Following
instructions I did the EDIT ST L.  As I don't have
anything but SSB and 160 currently installed, I
realize I need the U6-25 setting.  When I hit display
it shows one of these options, and when I hit display
it toggles to the other option.  But neither produces
a sidetone.  I tried exiting when U6-25 is displayed,
still no sidetone.  

I am not convinced I know how to properly set it for
U6-25?

It just calibrated the PLL OK as I was typing this,
but not fun to not have a sidetone.  

Firmware was 2.01F - now its 2.04P.  I also updated
the IOC firmware on the RF board to 1.09.  

Please and thanks for help.  

73, curt

I have heard of this being a problem.  They call it a "fat finger" fowl
up.  Often hear of folks change something in the firmware by mistake
when they do not mean to.  I realize this doesn't necessarily apply, but
at least it is something to check.  Good luck.
