George,

Do not be so quick to pass judgement, there are several options in the
power output path.

Remove the KAT1 - and do not forget to change the RF source jumper to
the K1 position.
After doing that, what is the power output on each band?  If it is 5
watts or greater (usually 6 to 7 watts), then the K1 is working fine and
the remaining problems will be found in the KAT1 or your antenna system.

George,

You wil have to trace the problem to the failing stage.  Loo in the
manual appendix for Transmit Signal Tracing and  progress through those
steps to reveal the failing stage.  Once the failing stage has been
identified, analysis to the component level should be possible, the K
schemtics are avalile for download.
