[Elecraft] KX2 "HI CUR" Warning

[Chris]

Bill,

Thanks for your response. I tried tuning into a 50 ohm dummy load (using known good cables), and see the same issue.

Neither the BNC nor the internal cables look damaged in any way.

I'll note I never use an internal battery, so I rarely open the unit.
