This is fixed in v1.3.4. Thanks for doing the hard part of figuring out
what was using the extra juice.

Hi Bill,
It seems likely that it's the PA that is drawing the extra .75A, and
since your configuration does not include the PA, that may explain why
you don't see the same increase in p/s current that I do. Perhaps
something which should be turning off the bias current of the finals,
isn't doing so.
Today I left the fan off and just let the radio run in receive mode.
When I opened up the box after about 3 hours, the heatsink of the PA
was very warm, and the two finals were too hot to keep my fingers on
them.

I do not see any difference on my setup (RFE, no PA, fan powered
from radio) with current draw on 1.3.3. Cold start of the hardware
draws about 0.67 A, bring up 1.3.3 remains at 0.67A, hit power on
Console goes to 0.84A, hit Power off on console back down to 0.67A.
1.3.2 is similar except there is a brief spike on the power when the
.1.3.2 console starts, but does fall back to 0.67A.
