[Elecraft] KSB2 Problem

Hi all,

I am trying to install the KSBS2 into my K2.

Problem symptoms are that I get the Hi Current warning, plus I get no 
variance on my separate receiver when trying the fine balancing.

The rest of the alignment went okay, SSBA on BAL gave me good nulls 
with tweaking R1 both on USB and LSB (I just cannot hear any null with 
the receiver. I get a very strong carrier (S9+) on my separate receiver 
with SSBA at 3.

Doing the voltage checks on rx, everything looks okay with the 
exception of:
U1, pin 22 - 5.6v instead of 0.2
U2, pin 5 - 5.95v instead of 0.6
U3, pin 6 - 1.4v instead of 0
U4, pin 3 - 5.95 instead of 0.6

Since I get the hi cur warning I have not tried any tx voltage 
measurements.

I looked at the archives and saw some people put RF board Q2 in 
backwards but the 'silver' side is facing the front of the rig.

Any ideas?
