I have been enjoying my newly built K2 #058xx for several weeks now. I
have seen the posts about excessive current draw on 160, but many of
them are involving the 100w amp, which I do not have (yet). Well, I
have the same problem, draw sometimes exceeds 4 amps on 160. Power
supply is stable 13.8v. I saw an old post suggesting bypassing the
ISENSE line on the control board with a .01 to .1 cap, soldering it
across R7. Having a very new edition K2, I decided to check the
schematic and found that a cap, listed as C44, is shown in parallel with
R7, but it says "not used". So, before trying this fix, I figured I
would put it on here and see what the gang knows about this issue.
Thanks in advance for any input
73, Paul, N2PD
