[KX3] HI CUR error with 2m module

Steve Ward-2
I'm pretty sure I've seen something about this before.  I just got my
KX3-2M that I ordered at Sea-Pac, and installed it in my radio tonight.  
Everything seems OK except when I try to transmit I get a HI CUR error
unless I keep output power below 1.2 watts.  I'm running from a 35A
linear PS so supply isn't the issue...

The only thing I saw in the archive was a mention about a loose SMA
connector, but everything looks OK in that respect.  Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Steve

Steve,

Do you have a dummy load that is good up through 148MHz?
If so, Connect it and see if you get the same error.
If not, investigate your antenna and feedline.
If it is still present, contact K3support.

Tried it again today and worked FB.  Suspect some cruft in the right angle
adaptor or the antenna itself. Some canned air and maybe some DeOxit might
be tried if problem reappears...
