Here are my results measured at 50 ohms dummy load (Vcc=13,8V): 7030 - 6,6W 10130 - 7,1W 14060 - 5,8W 21060 - 6,3W 7002 - 7,3W 10102 - 7,3W 14002 - 5,4W 21002 - 6,9W Your results my vary, but not significant Good luck with your assembly 73 de Wim SP5DDJ K1-4 #1089 ++++++++++++++++ From: "Morrow, Michael A."

My K1 covers 40/30/20/15 meters. With a 13.8 vdc supply, I can get about 7 watts out maximum anywhere on any band. With the 9.8 vdc KBT1 internal battery, I can get about 4 watts or more out everywhere. I use the 150 (180 actually) kHz VFO span option. On 40m, I could not get full output near the band edges when the K1 was aligned at 7060 kHz. I had to double the capacity of two KFL1-4 band-pass filter coupling capacitors (C10 and CK) in order to get full output across the 40m band. 73, Mike / KK5F +++++++++++++++++
