Just for information, some measurements of pwr consumption using an external power supply unit.
Could be useful to know if you plan to purchase an external Li-Ion bat. for outdoor activities.
Only loading from a 13.2V source - current 0.64A (empty int. Li-Ion pack)
TRX off loading deactivated via menu and connected to the ext. source - current 0.05A
Rx on, loading disabled, Loudspeaker off - current 0.4A
Rx on, Loudspeaker fully activated 1kHz single tone - 0.5A
Tx CW, loading disabled, 5W hf-pwr, 50Ohm dummy, - current 1.6 - 2.2A (for 7, 10, 14, 21, 28 MHz bands)
Tx CW, loading disabled, 10W hf-pwr, 50Ohm dummy, - current 2.9 - 3.1A (for 7, 10, 14, 21, 28 MHz bands)
Tx CW, loading disabled, 1W hf-pwr, 7Mhz, - current 1.5A
Tx CW, loading disabled, 0.1W hf-pwr, 7Mhz, - current 1.3A
Take only CW under consideration while doing my tests.
