It seems to be constant, regardless of band. I haven't had time to do much other investigation, but I do remember that was the case.

I agree with Stan's assessment. When I had a blown PA transistor in my QMX, the rig (12v) was drawing over 200mA during receive.?

I didn't have to remove the Heat-sink washer to find the bad one. It was quite obvious which one was bad, but it likely helps to remove it to see if any are warmer than others. Start with a cold radio, and don't transmit at all.?

Stating the obvious, you have an extra 35mA going somewhere. Is that constant, or does receive current draw change by band??

Hopefully someone else can jump in and help you with diagnostics.?
