[Elecraft] K3 overheating smell after an hour or so.

[peterc281]

The pot was damaged in transit returning from VK9NT and was replaced with an
Elecraft supplied part. As I said in the original post everything is working
fine, that's whats strange, replacing the pot may be coincidental.
Temperatures last night ... ambient 20c, FP 35c, PA 33c. I put a blob of
heatsink paste to the screw that holds U12 and put my multimeter temp probe
in that and in measured 40c.
Has anybody measured the current draw, is my 1.54A excessive?
