[Elecraft] K2 - 160 meter Hi Current on Transmitt.

[David Heinsohn]

Hi All

  Hope I can get a bit of help here and that the solution is a simple one.

  As I was putting the K2  back together I installed the 160 module and 
tested it.  Everything seemed to go fine until I got to the transmitter 
tune up.  The receive worked fine, could easily hear some stations on 
1.830.  The receive antenna worked fine on 160 and other bands.  BUT, 
when I attempted to tune the transmitter on 1.850 with the power set to 
2 watts, it went right to Hi Curr and dropped the power to .02.  The 
voltage display goes to 12.6 from 13.4, which is about the same as other 
bands.  Current at 0.2 w in tune after the Hi Curr is 1.84.   
  I've retuned the transmitter on 80 to be sure I had it peaked.  It 
seems to be.

  So does anyone have any good ideas?

  Time to go mow the rest of the yard and work on the SSB module!
