I have a brand new K3, just completed a couple of days ago.

On 20m (the only band for which I have an antenna at the moment), running
into an antenna with SWR about 1.8:1, I am receiving the "hi cur" warning.
If I use the ATU, the SWR drops down to around 1.3:1, but the "hi cur"
warning remains. Into a dummy load, the warning is not present.

The rig draws about 23A @ 13.8V.

Presumably it's trying to tell me that something important is wrong, but
what? The manual isn't much help.
