Gordon:

Also, the current drain depends on your input voltage. With a slightly drained battery showing 11.9 volts on the K2, my current drain on 40M is about 2.2 Amps. At 13.8 volts (showing 13.0 on the K2), it is 2.0.

Gordon,

2.2 Amps is probably OK - it is only 10% above the nominal, and that is within the range of acceptable tolerance for an assembly of 5% tolerance parts.

I am almost done assembling #3108.  During the 40 meter Transmitter
Alignment (page 72) the radio is drawing 2.2 amps for 10w power. The manual
says "much higher than 2 A" is a problem.  Is 2.2 a problem?
