[Elecraft] K3: Power puzzlement

[N5NA]

I have the Model 101 Super Whatt Meter so I hooked mine up to see what it
reads.  I'm showing 0.0A with the switch off and 1.6A with the switch on and
the P3 on.

Mine is an older model and measures the current on the negative side.  If
yours is the same I wonder if the current you're seeing could be ground
related.
