Jeremy,
The problem of HiCur coupled with low power output is usually associated
with a problem either in T4 or the Low Pass Filter.
Check all the capacitors in the Low Pass Filter for proper values and
count the turns on the toroids. Count only the turns passing through
the center of the core. It is easy to put an extra turn on the toroids,
and the result is a HiCur message along with low power output.

load, I am getting less than 1W on the with the K2 set at 2W, and about 2W
when set for 10W. Moving on to 80M at 2W I get a high current warning.
