Remember that the HI-CUR message is produced by the base K2 and not the
KPA100 current draw.
What it means is that the KPA100 output is on the low side of the requested
power and the base K2 is trying to ramp up the power to obtain full output,
but in the process the current level that you

Bill,
I have had this problem twice. Check and/or tighten all connections

connection on the tab and another times the screws had come loose.

You don't tell us where the MFJ is going into the line. Is the

reading from a different point?
