I just finished the basic K2 and am going through the alignment. The receive alignment went well. I then built the transmitter part and am trying to do the 40 meter transmitter alignment. It says to set power to 2.0 watts. I move the power control and the LCD shows 2.0 watts but when I hit the TUNE button - I get varying results - anywhere from .3 to sometimes 5.7 watts - It does seem to change when I tune L1 and L2 but the basic power output seems very unstable. If I raise the Power control - generally the power output does go up but once again - it does not track accurately. Unfortunately - I do not have an external Wattmeter so I am trusting what I am seeing on the K2 display.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
