John,
The VFO B Altermate display when set for current will tell you that
information for your particular KX3.
The manual says receive current will be in the range of 150 to 200 ma.
and depends on backlight, preamp isolation amp and whether or not the
internal speaker is used.
I have not measured TX current at 5 watts, but I would expect somewhere
in the vicinity of 2 amps.

Trying to do some planning for Field Day battery operation. We are
planning to use a KX3 at 5w, CW.
Could someone(s) give me a feeling for RX current draw. I would like
this to be with the Backlight ON, and other normally ON functions
activated. Likewise, what current draw should we see with key down CW
at 5w?
Thanks,
- 73, John, N0TA
