>A loaded K3 on receive should be under 1.5 A even with all guns blazing...
A year or so ago, I decided to ckeck the current drawn by my loaded K3. To my surprise and confusion, the K3 appeared to be drawing 2.7A with the power switch OFF!!! Various opinions expressed by this list notwithstanding, it took me a few days to realize what was happening - The digital meter, a Watt's Up, was being influenced by the HV radiation from the display on the 756 ProIII, sitting directly above the K3. I turned off the ProIII, and all returned to the expected 'normal'. Just another of life's little mysteries.
