Hi all
I finished building K2 s/n 5361 yesterday and managed to align it per the specs in the manual.
First tests (RX only) showed a wonderfully quiet receiver with "good ears". TX is well within specs.
Encouraged by the FB results I started constructing the 160m extension today. No worries during assembly as far as I could see.
Then, after having installed the 160m PCB into the K2 I started the alignment procedure.With 2W out all was OK both on 160 and 80m, no problems peaking output power to about 2,5W. However, when I try to crank the output power up to 10W as per the instructions on p9 of the installation manual, I am unable to get more than 5W output on 160m. 80m is OK.
I have tried the alternative frequencies for peaking. 2W out is OK all the time, but no more than 5W when I should be reading 10W out. Cal Cur is set at 3.50A. Checked all solder joints, toroid winding numbers, what have you.
Any ideas?
Tnx fer all input
