[Elecraft] K2 weird problem

[Gregg mulder]

Hello fellow Elecrafter's,
  I recently acquried a loaded K2 with a weird bug. When the unit is cold es 1st powered on, it gives a Hi Current alarm on x-mit.( CW) I have the pwr set to 5 w. the bar graph shows abt 3 w , es an external watt meter shows almost 10 out to ant. After abt 4 or 5 min. warmup, everything is fine, es the bar graph shows 5 w es the watt meter shows 5 w , and every thing plays normally.  I have removed the antennna tuner es I\O, es the noise Blanker. Same symtoms. I want to go "bare bones" es remove the ssb brd also, but dont really want to remove all the front control brd componets. Can i remove the ssb brd es install the jumpers agn without removing all of the componets on the front ? Has anyone had a similar problem? Any suggestions appreciated.        Thanks,  Gregg Mulder WB8LZG
