[Elecraft] K3 HI-current on 10 meters

[Robert P. Ward]

Hi

 

                My K3 draws excessive current on 10 meters (24 amps). I've
looked at other bands and max current drawn is 18 amps. 

This is into a bird dummy load, with bird 43 watt meter showing NO reflected
power. The K3 shows 1.0-1 SWR. Because of the 

HI-current issue, K3 reduces power to 80 watts. Anyone else seen this
problem? Anyone know of a fix?

 

                                Thanks, Bob   NQ3N
