So that leaves some K3s still drawing about 38 mA when switched off. Mine, Geoff G3UCK and I think there were a couple of others who commented yesterday.

I pulled out my Fluke and an adapter I had made years ago for a current probe and measured both radios. Both are drawing 4 mA when off, about 1.2A when on with one RX, about 1.5A with both RX on. Thanks for the sanity check. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
