KX1 power out

tedwb3avd@netzero.com

HI folks:
Basic KX1 887 came alive this past weekend.

One question: using the elecraft dummy load, my power out on both bands appears to be 3.5 w (c. 8.7 volts at the dummy) Should I be able to tweak this for a little higher output, say 4 watts?

A quick look at the archives suggested shifting the coils on toroid L2; one attempt at this reduced the output slightly. Should I try changing the resistor at R30? Any suggestions would be appreciated, or am I truly concerned about nothing!!!

By the way, my first four contacts on a 20m dipole were all in Italy!
