[Elecraft] K2 high current on xmit

[Mike Knapp]

Hi all. I am building K2 #5644 and got to alignment part 3. However, 
whenever I keyed the transmitter at 2W on any band, the power would 
shoot up to 19-20 W and a high current message would come up.

In addition, I noticed that when I keep the power at 0.1 W, the 
transmitter would work fine (clean CW output when I listened on my other 
rig). This allowed me to check transmit voltages on the PA as well as 
other transmit circuitry. This led me to find that Q24 was bad. I'm just 
curious if Q24 failing would cause this kind of behavior.

Thanks,
