Pete,
That does not sound excessive - it is within a 10% range. The current
draw on 80 meters will be a bit higher than other bands because the
relay on the LPF board is not a latching type, so it must draw current
when 80 meters is selected.

Hi Folks,
I've just installed the 80-30 board (filter left to go), and in making
the final current and voltage checks, I was unsure if one reading was
too high. If the current draw after the LED times out is between 34
and 37 ma, good. If it's much higher than that, it could indicate a
short. How much higher?
I got a reading of about 38.9 ma. The various voltage checks all were
fine, between 4.8 and 5 vdc. So I presume those are OK. It's the
current measurement that I'm a bit concerned about.
