[Elecraft] K160RX (Long)

[David N.]

Hello All 
I am posting this again.
I have a problem with "HI CUR" On the K160RX
It comes on for a second and then shows .5 watts
regardless of the power setting.
In troubleshooting here is what I have done
I compared in and out of the of the module
with the setup of 
Power 1.0 watts setting
I got this with the RF Probe 
AT C1 7.5-8.3v
AT L1/C2 9.9-10.3v
At L2/C3 7.5-8.3v
I compared this to 80m 
and the results were the same
So The next thing I did was check switching My
switching is ok all the relays are functioning
Next
I pulled the K160RX board out and checked to see if
there may be short across the bottom of the plug for
the module. by comparing the reading from 1 pin to the
rest and so on IE pin 1 to pin 2 pin 3 etc then move
to the next pin I have a descrepency that I cannot
prove or disprove Pin 2 to pin 7,8,9 (input) and
12,13,14 all check short. If I read the schematic
correctly There should not be any direct connection
from pin 2 to 7,8,9 12,13,14 which really puts all
these connections to ground, Correct?
thanks
