Karsten,
Are you measuring the current out of the power supply? Or is that the
current displayed on the K2?
If it is the current from your power supply, then I suggest that you
re-check the bias adjustment for the KPA100. See the KPA100 manual for
the procedure.
Yes, the additional 4 amps at 11 watts is unusual, and an incorrect bias
setting could produce that.

KPA100 is aligned according to the manual.
When I key the K2/KPA100 up to 10 watts, current is up to 2 A. Looks
normal.
Then I set the K2 to 11 watts (KPA100 engaded) Now current is approx.
6 Amps.
What are those 4 extra amps needed for?
When I set K2 to 20 watts, it consumes approx. 8 amps.
30 watts: 10 amps
50 Watts: 12 amps
Is that normal or is something wrong with my KPA100?
