KX2 Starts Off with Low Output on 10M

Mine did the same thing. Did the TX gain calibration & that fixed it.

Unfortunately, this did not fix my particular KX2.  TX Gain calibration was completed successfully, but the same issue persists.

I also did the TX bias calibration, and noted that bis on Q6 took ~45 seconds to complete, vs the 3-10 the manual suggested.  Q7 was fast.  Q6 wavered a lot between .3-.7v.  I suspect this suggests the problem is perhaps indeed hardware-related.

Thank you to everyone on the list who responded with ideas to check.  I’ll get this one packed up and sent back to Elecraft.
