To Dave and Mike .... I must hold my hands up and admit to starting a "
wild goose chase " .
I had misinterpreted the manual and convinced myself that the power
reduction when pressing TUNE relied on an ATU being installed ... I had
even proved it to myself ... if I did a TUNE at 25W , it didn't reduce
power , hereby backing up my false belief .
Taking on board the advice from you both , I found that if I did a TUNE
at anything above 25W , the power _was_ reduced ...so it seems that this
particular K2 has a power reduction threshold of 25W instead of 20W.
Many thanks to you both for your replies and helping me correct the
record , you were right and I was wrong !

My apologies to Steve and Dave W8FGU!
I re-read the KPA100 manual and learned
that the K2/100 DOES reduce TX power
to 20 watts when the TUNE button is pressed
and the POWER control setting is above
that level.
