I just received my K3S back from repair and all seemed OK. However it 
appears to draw much more current on 20M than any other band.   22 - 24 
amps.  I have tried two different 20m antennas and a dummy load.

All other bands are 20 amps or lower.  Some as low at 17amps.

Power Supply voltage per K3s display 14.0v standby and 13.3 on TX

First off is this actually something of concern?

I hate to do a calibration as it was just done by Elecraft service two 
weeks ago.
