I am just at the 40m L1/2 alignment for my K2.
On rx with the lcd set at nite, I show 13.6v @ .18a.
Using an external analog wattmeter into a dummy load, I measure at 5
watts 12.9v and 1.8a. Also, the display shows the power output at 3.5w
instead of 5. When I tune the power output control so the external
wattmeter shows 2 watts, the power display says 1.5 watts.
Is this a sign of trouble? Why would there be a difference between the
external wattmeter and the power display on the k2?
