K1 #2999 finished- small issue

Don Baucom
I finished my K1 works great, I see I am getting 5 watts out on my SWR meter.. I have made several QSO's already.. My problem is during alignment the power meter always said P=0.1 no matter what I did. Also when I transmit I do not see the bars that are supposed to show a bar per watt. I do see a random number pop on the dispaly every now and then when I transmit. one time it was 13.6 another time 20 something. It does not happen all the time. I have aligned the swr meter so I do not think that has any bearing.

Any Ideas?

  Do you have the jumper on the 3 pin header near the BNC jack placed
correctly?  It should be on the KAT1 position if the KAT1 is installed
or in the K1 position without the KAT1.
If it is not placed correctly, the power control will not be correct and
the display will show zero power (actually it will read 0.1).

If the jumper is correct, and you still have problems, check the two 1%
resistors on the bottom of the board near the BNC jack (in the corner of
the RF Board).
