Jeremy,
Make a quick check on your voltmeter - measure a new Alkaline battery,
you should see quite close to 1.50 volts.
Are you making the measurement by using TUNE? If not, you should be.
Is this an older K2 with a trimpot at R60? If so, it should be turned
fully counterclockwise.
Check the resistors R59 through R63 to be certain they are the correct
values.
I would be puzzled about a bias voltage higher than 0.64 volts because
it could lead to higher current and the resulting heat dissipation in
the PA transistors.
Thank you for adding a bit of the prior post that you are responding to
- it helps a lot.

I don't know how much over 0.64 volts is bad, but I am getting 0.656.
I didn't realize that a web reply was cutting off what I was replying to. I
always hit the reply button and assumed it included the original text.
