Werner, If the K2 is in fact a K2/100, it could be that the wattmeter in the KPA100 needs to be calibrated.
On the other hand, if this is a QRP K2, the power output indication on the K2 is a simple RF Probe and is very sensitive to the actual load (antenna) impedance. If you use the QRP K2 (without the KAT2 or KAT100) driving a good 50 ohm non-reactive dummy load, you should find close agreement between the K2 indication and the wattmeter - in fact, if you do not, I would blame either the dummy load or the external wattmeter rather than the K2. Sorry, but with the information available, there is no single answer, I can only guess. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dr. Werner Furlan > Sent: Sunday, March 19, 2006 2:00 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Elecraft] Power out on K2 # Power out on Wattmeter > > > hi all, > > my friend Egon purchased a used K2 and he asks me what could be the > cause that the power he is reading on the Watt meter is always > about double > as high as the numbers on the K2 display. > I checked this here with my K2 and I also find a difference, but > usually not so > high than he.
