Thanks Graham. I expect that which is why I measured on all bands and also
compared it with different loads including a dummy load and several more
reactive loads just to see what would happen. The numbers I wrote, 300mA and
1250mA, represented the worst-case numbers on my particular radio.

It is good to know what the expected range of numbers should be.
