Use a 15v 30 amp power supply (adjust what you have from 14 to 15 v)
Your IMD also will improve.

Don. It goes to 12.9 volts on 20. On 40 it goes to 13.0. Current on 20
goes to 24 amps then gives me the message. No rig runner. 24 inch #10

Lee,
What is the voltage out of your power supply during transmit? View it
with the K3 ALT VFO B display. If it is below 12 volts, check your
power supply connections. If you are powering the K3 through a
RigRunner or other DC distribution system, eliminate it for the K3 and
connect directly to the power supply terminals.
The K3 will try to keep the power constant, so if the voltage is low,
the current must go up.

I have a K3 that seems to have a problem. I am getting HI CURRENT
warning
only on 20 meters. The antenna is matched. 80, 40 and 15 do not have
the
issue. The current meter on the power supply does show quite a bit of
current (20+ amps) on 20 meters but when I reduce power it stops giving
me
the issue on 20 meters. When I reduce power on 20 meters, the high
current
goes away around 65 watts.
Anyone have an idea what is going on? I do appreciated the help
