1) I can never GET to transmit on 2 meters. It goes into "HI CUR"
within seconds after switching to the 2 meter band.
2) The receive voltage is 14.3 VDC, and about 1.49-1.51 Amps.
3) The power cord is a custom-made 8AWG, twisted-pair cable directly
lugged to an Astron VS-50M and plugged directly into the K3s. Cable is
less than 2 feet long.
4) It has been working like this for years. SubRX install went without
a hitch.
5) Radio is FULLY calibrated...
I have checked every single TMP cable, plug, et al on the interior and
exterior... Checked cables for pinching. Checked everything I can
think of at least a dozen times.

Clay,
Have you measured the voltage displayed by the K3S during transmit? A
low voltage is a common cause for Hi Curr.
Reduce the voltage drop in the power cord by running directly from the
power supply (no DC distribution boxes) and make certain all
connections are tight.

OK... so NONE of that worked... So, I reinstalled everything and
checked it 3 times...
Here is something....
What should the voltage be on Pin #1 of P95 (XV12DC) be with respect
to chassis?
I am reading 13.75 VDC
