[Elecraft] 160M HiCur

[Paul Del Negro]

I have been enjoying my newly built K2 #058xx for several weeks now.  I 
have seen the posts about excessive current draw on 160, but many of 
them are involving the 100w amp, which I do not have (yet).  Well, I 
have the same problem, draw sometimes exceeds 4 amps on 160.  Power 
supply is stable 13.8v.  I saw an old post suggesting bypassing the 
ISENSE line on the control board with a .01 to .1 cap, soldering it 
across R7.   Having a very new edition K2, I decided to check the 
schematic and found that a cap, listed as C44, is shown in parallel with 
R7, but it says "not used".  So, before trying this fix, I figured I 
would put it on here and see what the gang knows about this issue.
Thanks in advance for any input
