...I bought a meter a while ago that measures the power
consumption of whatever is plugged into it. It's surprising what it
costs to run one computer for a year. Now, even the shack power supply
gets turned off instead of trickle charging the K2.
Be grateful you can turn it off! Most things in the USA, if they p;lug
in, can't be turned off. They go to "standby" meaning they are still
consuming power. Home theater components, PCs, monitors, most devices
in the kitchen... so they get an "energy star" award if you can't turn
them off, the star telling you how efficient they are!
