[Elecraft] K2 Transmitter problem, Alignment and Test Part III

[Keith Hamilton]

I am having a problem with my transmitter testing. When I try to 
transmit my K2 says "Hi-Cur" and the power indication stays at 0.1.
However the wattmeter I have attached to the antenna indicates 10 watts 
or more. I have the wattmeter hooked up to a dummy load. I tried 
connecting it to my antenna with the same results. I can't align the 40 
meter band-pass filter inductors because the transmitter is putting out 
too much power. It seems like the transmitter is going full bore and 
nothing in the radio is telling it to slow down. And I don't understand 
the 0.1 power indication on the K2 meter.

Please forgive my probably poor explanation.
