Is it a K2/100? If so did you blow the 20A in-line fuse?

The Hi Cur can appear any time the SWR jumps for some reason. It happened to
me once and I discovered that I had forgotten to tighten an SO-239 connector
after doing some swapping around.

Normally, a QRP K2 will reset itself (it uses a resettable fuse).
