Harv,

I did not see the initial post (fault of Nabble vs. the real Elecraft
reflector), but High Current messages can be caused by a low impedance
at the antenna connection, or also a fault in the KPA3, like one output
transistor that is no longer functioning properly.
There are other causes, like incorrect bias to the PA transistors.
Without more specific observations, it is difficult to give a specific
answer.

Have you tried a TX Gain Calibration on your K3/K3S?  If not, try it.

73,
Don W3FPR
