While waiting for parts to fix my KPA100 and KAT100, I was checking out
my K160RX.
The situation is that at 12W out the K2 (KSB2, KNB2, KDSP2, K106RX,
KIO2) draws 2.5 amps. With power set at anything above that, it exceeds
4.5 amps and I get a Hi CUR warning (limit set at 4.5 amps).

Parasitic? I had that problem on 40m with the KPA100 and KAT100. Ran

Different problem when he doesn't have a KPA100 though.

John,
How much power is actually being produced? What does the K2 meter indicate
in TUNE?
What is your power supply voltage under this 4.5 amp load? If the voltage
drops significantly, the current will go up - the K2 tries to provide the
requested power out, and if the voltage drops, the current

Yup, looks like a power supply issue.
K2 MeterV I
Receive 13.7 0.34
12 watts 12.6 2.78
13 watts 11.8 4.38
14+ watts 11.3 5.10
Making up a heftier cord to the power supply should do the trick.
Many thanks!
