[Elecraft] KX3 - 10M High Current

[Jim - W6VAR]

I just put up a 10M dipole at 16' with a BL2 at the center feed. The AIM4170
says it all checks out good with a low SWR (<1.5) and this is confirmed in
bypass mode with the KX3. I'm operating using a fully charged 10Ah SLA
battery with a short, thick power cable...12.7 Volts

When I try to run 10 watts, I get the high current warning when operating or
when I press tune and the unit goes back down to 5 watts. When I hook the
antenna up to my K3, I get no such warnings and it runs 100 watts just fine.

Firmware is 1.61.

I've seen other issues on the reflector for 6 meters which some have
resolved with firmware updates. Anyone else having this issue?
