1.Receive:
Unmodified, approx. 410 mA on 40 meters and below at 13.0 volts, approx. 440 mA on 10 meters,
minimum volume, maximum display brightness.
The selection of minimum display brightness can reduce this by 40-60mA.
The modification to the PA drivers to switch off bias when not in TX mode can reduce this by a further
30-60 mA.
- Power off: <5 mA if the PA driver bias modification is performed. (If this modification is not performed
it is recommended that power be disconnected from the transceiver as the PA driver transistors will be
biased on even when the power is turned off, causing 30-60 mA of standing current.)
- With modification RF-04-: -010 from German mcHF Project Group consumption in power off is <0.5uA.
2.Transmit (At 13.0 volts power supply): At full power around 3A; At 10W around 2.5A
