Ok, here's an update.
I raised the HI CUR limit to 3.0 Amps, and haven't seen a HI CUR warning
(except sometimes when power is set to 15 Watts). I went through the Part
III Transmitter alignment, and was able to peak all of the L's and C's
without getting any HI CUR messages.
As a side note, I also measured my random wire antenna's length, and it was
pretty darn close to half a wavelength at 20 meters. So, I cut a few feet
from it. Haven't noticed any thumping on the TV anymore, tho I notice a
very slight amount of TVI on channels 3 and 4 (I have cable). On other
channels, I can't see any effects. This is with a low pass filter between
the K2 and my LDG Z-11 tuner.
I also tried using my MFJ-259B as a signal generator to continue on with the
BPF test with the RF probe. I was able to get some values above 0 Vrms, but
the MFJ is so unstable I couldn't get any good readings. But at least it
verified things were getting through. Of course, I was able to listen to a
few QSO's on CW and PSK31 as well (like before) so I knew things were
working.
So, I think I was probably pretty good all along, I just needed to raise the
HI CUR limit a bit. Thanks for all your time and help.
