Ian,
I've just done a test:
100W RMS (LP-100A) single tone 1500Hz sinus USB @7.035MHz into a 50ohms
dummy load,
20A under 14.0V (at K3 power terminals) K3 #1212

Correction!
There are 18.5A (instead of 20A) under 14.0V.
I omit to subtract 1.5A for some
external accessories!
Sorry!

Is it possible that the TX power calibration by band was not done?
Might be worth trying it again with the dummy load. The new firmware
program makes it easy.

I just shut the radio and power supply off and turned it back on. Now on all
the bands it is drawing around 25 amps and not cutting out but the CW still
cuts out and shuts off the radio. I wonder if there is a setting in the menu
that I knocked out of whack by accident. I do have a good ground
The radio is drawing too much current. What is the key down supply
voltage at the radio?
