[Elecraft] K2: Hi Cur on 30m

I just noticed I'm getting a Hi Cur message only on 30m.

The set up:

- K2/100 into dummy load (KAT100 disconnected)
- Power set to 100 W
- CAL CUR set to 3.50 A
- When CAL CUR is 4.10 A, current drawn on 30m levels out at 4.02 A
- When I drop to 85 to 90 W, 30m draws just under 3.50 A
- All other bands draw less than 3.50 A
- I qso on all bands with no apparent problems

If anyone has been through this, what do you think - have I possibly 
zorched my PAs?  Should I recalibrate?  (It could have even been this 
way all along & I never noticed, since I often have the power level less 
than 100 W.)  Or am I being paranoid over a half amp?

Thanks for any ideas,
Mike  ab3ap
