Hello,

I finished assembling K2#3227 and run the first transmitter test. When I
press tune (or keying the rig) the display shows HiCurr and an external
power meter with dummy load shows nearly 16 watts. I resoldered all
junctions in the amplifier. I did the receiver trace, all in the range. I
can't measure any values in transmit mode because the transmit is switched
off immediately. Looks like the ALC is not working. Which parts I have to
check? Any hints?
