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
