I am bring a new K2 into the world and I have completed my steps up to P67. Ready for 'Assembly, Part III'. I am an experienced builder and have a generous assembly and test bench. One thing I noticed, when I turned the unit on for 'Alignment and Test, Part II', the K2 was drawing 240mA rather than the 80mA in my first turn on. As this is more than the unit should draw when finished I do have some concern. The only part that seems to be getting warm is Q22 which appears normal, but there seems to be 100mA lost (almost 100% more than the 120mA nominal).
As I am not the first to build one of these, I hope there might be some ideas out there. I am not sure if this is normal for this stage or there is something wrong.
