Thanks Philip, I will check the current of the base K2.  The PA is in the
same box.  No tuner involved.  I would expect lack of drive would result in
low output and hence current?  I don't understand your point re the pa
screws, surely that would cause overheating of the transistors on all bands?

Thanks / 73, Fraser G4BJM
