Clay,

this problem when installing the transverter on my "old" K3. Remember
the +12V will be delivered by a single wire, the GND comes from the side
plate of the K3 which *must* be sanded, which was not the case on mine.

Probably just need current firmware.
A fully loaded K3 is right on the fringe of triggering the OLD Firmware
limit of 2 amps.
New FW raises the limit if the HI CUR message.
If you are at current 5.67 FW, then check the actual current being
drawn, with the internal meter, or a good external one.
1) I can never GET to transmit on 2 meters. It goes into "HI CUR"
within seconds after switching to the 2 meter band.
2) The receive voltage is 14.3 VDC, and about 1.49-1.51 Amps.
3) The power cord is a custom-made 8AWG, twisted-pair cable directly
lugged to an Astron VS-50M and plugged directl
Update...
1) Strictly speaking, removing the RefLock option board and associated
SINGLE TMP cable did not "fix" anything... Still have the "HIGH CUR" error.
2) Incidentally, IF you fire the K3s up on ANY other band (after disco
and reconnecting power to clear error) WITH the KXUSB cable connect
Just what the title says I installed a new K144XV and Reference
Oscillator Phase Lock Option tonight.
When I hit the band switch to go up to the 2 meter band, it thru a HIGH
CURR error.
I followed the directions in both install manuals precisely (as
appropriate for a K3s as enhanced), a
