Re: [Elecraft] K2 Excessive Current

In today's ever more crowded circuits; I find that during installation of a component, I should either hold the end of the wire to be cut or put a finger on it, so that it will not "fly" into some part of the circuit and short something. It is safer than nipping ends of wires with the cutters with

To Tom KM4CU Thanks also for your advice Regards Colin m1bnw Thanks for all your advice on my excessive current consumption on my K2. I did eventually find that I had a fault on the Control board in the 8 V Switching circuitry. The FET Q3 had failed and was turning on the 8 volt supply vi
