Good Evening All,

Tonight I completed the Part III assembly of the K2 and began the=
 
40-Meter Transmitter Alignment section. I have a question=
 regarding 
the typical current drain figures stated in the manual at 5 watts=
 and 
10 watts and what I saw on the K2's display.

-- For 5 watts, the manual indicates a current drain of 1.3 to=
 1.6 
amps. My K2's current drain at 5 watts peaked at 1.7 amps.

-- For 10 watts, the manual indicates a current drain of 1.8 to 2=
 
amps. My K2's current drain at 10 watts peaked at 2.2 amps.

Should I be concerned?

73 and Thanks!
