Brian,
Put an external wattmeter between the K2 and the dummy load - set the
power for 5 watts, do a TUNE and see how much power is really being
produced.
If it is much higher than the 5 watts requested, you have a power
control problem - which will usually result in a Hi Cur message because
all transmit stages are producing as much as they possibly can.
If this is actually your situation, do not transmit for more than a
brief moment or you can damage those new PA transistors.

Unfortunately I stll get the same message: HiCur when I press TUNE with power any higher than about 1.5 watts inot a 50 ohm dummy load. Any have any ideas about what else might cause this problem?
