Very cleverly done, Wayne:-)

The reason 5.0 W current drain is lower in CW/FM/FSK-D modes is that the KX3 
uses its higher-impedance PA transformer winding at this level. The upper limit 
for use of the high-Z winding is 5.0 W in CW/FM/FSK-D and 3.0 W in all other 
modes. If you're above the limit for a given mode, the lower-Z winding is used 
to minimize transmit IMD at higher power levels.

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,
