If so, that is what is causing your power climb. The K3 thinks you want

Larry,
Other than that negative voltage supply, the 5 volt regulator, and the
12 volt line, there is just not other places to look for a problem. The
MAX1406 just handles two RS-232 signals in this application, TXD and
RXD, so there is nothing on the board to stress the chip.

Don,
That's indeed good to know. I went ahead and cut the pins to the original
1406 so I wouldn't screw up the PC board. The 1406's are on order now.
I'll let you know how it goes when they get here.
Thanks again!

Hi,
My K1, #2799, build was going along swimmingly until I built and installed the
KNB1 module. Some adversity must enter in to every project, I suppose, because
now my poor K1 is deaf, even after removing the K1 and re-installing capacitor
C22 that is removed when installing KNB1.
