Hi gang:

One other question to insure I am not setting myself up for disappointment. 
:-)

When you use CAL  CUR  to set the current limit,  is there a limit to how 
high one can go without jeopardizing the rig??

My K2  has  the  KSB2,  KDSP2,  KNB2,  KAT2,  KBT2,  KIO2  &  K160RX 
installed.

When I key the rig with it set to 10 watts out,   I'm getting  about  2.8 
amps of draw.     I didn't figure that was unusual with all the options on 
board.   BUT  it kept giving me a high current warning when I first key up 
and it appeared to be cutting my output back.   So,  I went into CAL CUR 
and raised the current limit to 3.0 amps.

Initial setting per the manual was 2.5 amps.

Just wanted to be sure I wasn't going to burn the house down........

What cha think ??
