[Elecraft] KPA100 High Current

[John Huffman]

Dan -

Thanks for the info.

I found the following when checking the current reading on the display of
the K2:
Band    100W Current    5W Current
80M      2.10                   2.00
40M      2.08                   1.90
30M      3.80                   1.90
20M      3.30                   1.92
17M      3.28                   2.02
15M      2.50                   2.08
12M      2.50                   2.04
10M      2.10                   1.92

Without opening the rig, the current for 30M looks fine.  I suspect the need
for more current from the base K2 is coming from the KPA100.

I should check the current from the power supply to the KPA100, but my good
meter is not here.  I'll pick it up next week.

Can that cause a problem for the base K2?  The manual says 3.5.  My setup is
a base station with a 25 amp supply.
