Mike,
The lowest power that can be displayed is 0.100 watt. I would not
expect power levels below that to be consistent - there is a certain
level below which the power level cannot be accurately controlled (it
takes a little voltage into the sensing circuits to make the power
control smooth.
If you are interested in milliwatting with the K2, you will find some
helpful information in an old document by Wayne Burdick that can be
found at
http://www.elecraft.com/Apps/milliwatting_with_the_k2.htm.
Note that the referenced document refers only to RF Board D9 as the
power sensing device. If you have the KAT2 or KPA100 or KAT100
installed, the power sensing circuits are in the wattmeter mechanism for
those options and you would have to insert the gain block at a different
place.
