  I am using the meter on the K1. I also have an MFJ Tuner/meter combo for QRP that is not that accurate. I will be purchasing a new meter soon. Not sure about the KAT1 issue, that is my next purchase along with the Battery pack. Maybe Don/W3FPR could help answer this.

Don
  Yes please tell me how to read the cut off Freq. I have the MFJ type.

Thanks

How are you measuring the power output?

With my new K1 using a DL1 and KAT1 I get exactly the number of bars on the TX LCD bar graph as I set in the output menu for power output using a 13.8 vold power supply, from 2 to 7.  This is true for all 4 bands, with the only difference being if I don't tune it takes a few CQ's for the KAT1 to catch up, as expected.

Just curious what I might be missing,
