[Elecraft] A new K2 power issue?

[gary7]

I am bring a new K2 into the world and I have completed my steps up to P67.
Ready for 'Assembly, Part III'. I am an experienced builder and have a
generous assembly and test bench. One thing I noticed, when I turned the
unit on for 'Alignment and Test, Part II', the K2 was drawing 240mA rather
than the 80mA in my first turn on. As this is more than the unit should draw
when finished I do have some concern. The only part that seems to be getting
warm is Q22 which appears normal, but there seems to be 100mA lost (almost
100% more than the 120mA nominal).

As I am not the first to build one of these, I hope there might be some
ideas out there. I am not sure if this is normal for this stage or there is
something wrong.

Thanks,

Gary
