The SDR with the 100W PA will draw current because the PA is always hot. It is not switched. Make sure you note this if you have the cover off since if you get a screw driver across the wrong place you can do significant damage. The only entirely safe way yo work on the SDR is to pull the power plug. Also when the SDR is turned on, depending on what you have connected to X-15 the collectors may be low and current can be drawn. This changes when you switch PowerSDR on. Then X-15 will behave according to the check marks you hvae checked on the ext menu. Also you are measuring the fan etc.
So basically what it means is that off does not mean entirely off, just mostly off, and on means entirely on. 73 W9OY __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
