This is my first post to the reflector. I did not build this K2 (#3575). I do have all the manuals and have read them extensively trying to figure out what to do. The radio has most options installed and I have used it a good bit. I have noticed a the Hi Curr, message on occasion. This morning I checked it on all bands at various power settings. I had previously increased the current setting from 3.5 to 3.8 to try and stop the message from appearing.
With the Current set to 3.8 the only bands where the HiCurr message appeared were on 20M when the power was 90W or higher and on 17M when power is 80W or greater. I checked each band starting at 75W and going up in 5W steps. I did this while connected to a 50 ohm dummy load and in CW mode. No message was seen at any power setting on any of the other bands. I did notice a couple of other issues. First, on the higher bands the radio was not putting out full power. It was putting out more than 110 W on some bands. Here is what I found: 10m- 80W 12M-80W 15M-90W 20M-100W 40M-125W 80M-120W As indicated on my external watt meter. And finally, the audio level was approximately the same on all bands except 15m which seemed to have only about 1/2 the volume as all the other bands. Any advise on how to proceed will be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help. Bruce R.
