FW: K2 Odd Power issues

[Dan Barker]

Evidently the wattmeter is not a problem. The KAT2's power meter seems fine
(eg, believable). I checked with a 200MHz bandwidth scope and the results
are shown below. I'll dig around the transformers a bit. What's the current
thinking on the 160 inefficiency?

Don't overlook the fact that most wattmeters have a roll off of accuracy
when you get ot the 24/28 MHz frequencies.  They tend to indicate a lower
than actual output.
