kx1 pwr out

kc5wa
Having completed KX1 #1056 only two days ago. I was thinking the out put
pwr is sort of low.
I used a 13.1 v battery supply and got a 6.87  (1.96 w) reading on 20m
and a 8.07 (2.0+w) reading on 40m using the Elecraft DL1 and a DMM on
TP1. Can the output power be tweaked for max output in the TUNE Mode  
using the adj caps at 20a, 20b & 40 on the under side of the PCB.

You should be seeing 3 to 4 watts output under those conditions as described
in the manual, RC.

Did you do the final alignment per Page 58 of the manual?
