[Elecraft] K2 High Current

I am sorting out my K2/100 which had an unhappy experience with a thunderstorm in 5x two weeks ago. Thanks for helpful comments.
Almost there but....      I am doing the power calibration. I adjust R26 to get the K2 and my power meter reading the same. All goes OK until I get to about 10W when I Get "Hi Curr" and the rig draws a lot more current e.g. from1.8A to 3.8A. I could stay with 10W for ever (probably enough to drive the linear) but this is not how it was. Seems more of a problem on 40M than other bands.
Any ideas please?
