I have been noticing that on 10 meters when I bypass the internal tuner
I get a High Current error message.  On my amp meter on my Astron 35m
pwr supply it shows that when I key up about 22 amps and then keeps
rising up to about 35 amps and then cuts itself back.  When I use the
internal tuner on k3 it does not do this.  It shows about 22 amps on amp
meter.  This is the only band that I have noticed this on.  The swr of
antenna is about 1.3:1 for ten meters.  Any suggestions on what might be
wrong?
