[Elecraft] HI CUR and 160 Meters

[John Huffman]

While waiting for parts to fix my KPA100 and KAT100, I was checking out 
my K160RX.

The situation is that at 12W out the K2 (KSB2, KNB2, KDSP2, K106RX, 
KIO2) draws 2.5 amps.  With power set at anything above that, it exceeds 
4.5 amps and I get a Hi CUR warning (limit set at 4.5 amps).

Current is a bit higher than expected on 80 meters at 3.2 amps max 
output.  Other bands 2.9 - 2.9 amps.

I wonder what would cause the jump?
