[Elecraft] K3 HI Current Conclusion

[Bruce Chadbourne]

To the group - closeout / lesson learned concerning the "HI CUR" warning.

>From Don W3FPR I contacted Elecraft support, and sorted things out.

They asked me to confirm the tightness of the LPA screws on the bottom of
the rig - I did that and they were secure. In the process of disconnecting
everything to turn the rig upside down I realized the ground connection was
quite loose.

They also asked my to run the TX Calibration (5watt and 50watt) using the
K3 utility. A few months back I had the inkling that it had been several
years since doing that, but never followed-up. So I ran it and reported the
results to Elecraft support.  He (Howard) said the readings looked good and
stated that running the cal check may have corrected the issue as I've had
no repeat of the HI CURRENT warning.

So I've now got a clean health check and am good to go, but will keep my
eyes open. I also realized I was a little behind on updating my firmware;
took care of same.

Thanks all, Bruce / KE1CY
