[Elecraft] HI CUR LIMIT

You will probably have to find the correct value by trial and error.  I 
would recommend setting CAL CUR to 4.0 (which conforms to the 'at least 3.5' 
instruction) - or even more and then lower it one step at a time until the 
message re-appears - more likely on 10, 12 or 15 meters.  The actual setting 
will depend heavily on your power supply voltage - lower PS voltage requires 
a higher CAL CUR setting.

Once set in that manner, it serves as a quick indicator that the power 
should be reduced - because the SWR is higher than it should be, or the 
power supply voltage has dropped, etc.
This is normally not an indication of a K2 problem.

On my K2/100 I have set the HI CUR to 3.5 but get warnings on some higher 
bands.  The manual says HI CUR should be set to at least 3.5.  Can anyone 
recommend what a typical value should be and what value I should not go 
beyond.
