Power runaway on 10m

Ignacy
Working in the 10m contest I noticed that K3 used some 25A of current. After the calibration, teh following happens:

After a new calibration

Pwr/K2  PWR/LP-100   Curent
70        58                12A-stable
100      80                15A-stable
120      90                 20A-up
At 120W set, the power increases in 1 second to 25A and the radio resets to low power. When the current increases, the output power stays the same.

It seems that other bands are no problem.For example, on 160 teh power is set to 120, LP-100 shows 119W, and the current is 16A stable.
