Hi and thanks for the answers so far,
To give a bit more detail...
I'm not using any antenna tuner in my K2, it's the basic K2 with SSB module
and battery pack, but for the power out measurements I'm using a DC PSU.
I've set the K2 to CW and keyed the microphone, with the Power turned full
clockwise...
The output reading is on the YS-60 is using the 20 watt scale. The dummy
load is true 50 Ohms, and this is what I get...
Band Mhz K2 LCD YS-60
80m 3.500 15.2 18
40m 7.050 14.8 16.5
20m 14.200 14.8 14.5
17m 18.150 14.8 14.5
15m 21.200 14.8 12
10m 28.500 14.8 8
It seems like a lot of disparity on 10m, but I would have thought that even
if the winding on the 10m toroid were not perfectly spaced, it shoudn't be
that far off?
