Hi Cur

[scott weiss-2]

Hello to all,
  Need some help. After finishing up on 80 cw last night I moved up to 20, hit the auto tuner for the beam and received HI CUR. And this only ocurred on 20 even with a Dummy Load attached. Msg seemed to go away once I reduced the wattage down around 60 watts. Hepl!!!
                    73's,
                   Scott N2WF

Looks for an RFI problem that only occurs on 20m.  Or a grounding
problem, maybe with a long leg like 5m or so.  Nice resonant section
there.

Scott,

Was that on a K2 or a K3?  Please indicate in both the subject and the text.

Put a dummy load between the radio and the dummy load.  Tune into the
dummy load.
After the TUNE completes, set the power to 40 or 50 watts and hold the
key down for about 5 seconds.
Tell us how much power is actually being developed.

73,
