Brian, Put an external wattmeter between the K2 and the dummy load - set the power for 5 watts, do a TUNE and see how much power is really being produced.
If it is much higher than the 5 watts requested, you have a power control problem - which will usually result in a Hi Cur message because all transmit stages are producing as much as they possibly can. If this is actually your situation, do not transmit for more than a brief moment or you can damage those new PA transistors. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/18/2012 10:09 PM, [email protected] wrote: > > After getting the HiCur message, I replaced the two PA transistors, the > associated hardware, Q11 and Q13, and R50.
