That raised several issues that I have had to deal with and resolve. For the group - On 40 meters (because that is the band used for the CAL P adjustment), it seems that the lowest power output I can get is about 175 mw from my K2 s/n 1073. Is this unusual? I do not have the 5 watt efficiency mod/change installed but I am not sure that this will allow the K2 to go lower in power output. Is there a better/easier way to drop to the 50 mw level than adding an attenuator to the output? Thanks for any advice. 72!
