KX3 High Current causing fold back

SouthCarolinaDolphin
I had sent a post several days ago but don't see my post so will repost.
I have KX3 which in sn in 1100's. I sent it back for a mother board upgrade and also a new bnc ant connector with 2 m suppression. It has worked fine until last few days when I started getting high current warning the it folded back to 5 watts. Tried it on other bands c same problem. Tried on 50 ohm  dummy load. Took slightly longer but same result. Also saw high current only once on receive. Any ideas???
Thanks
Hugh W4DRH


THANK YOU for deleting my address, any other addresses, and personal information, from this e-mail, if you plan to forward it. THANK YOU also for using "Bcc" instead of "To" and "Cc" when initiating both individual and group e-mails. This helps prevent spammers, hackers and radicals from obtaining addresses, and thus the proliferation of spam.

Hugh,

What is your supply voltage?  If the supply voltage drops, then what you
see is normal.
