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. -- Brian Lloyd, WB6RQN/J79BPL 3191 Western Dr. Cameron Park, CA 95682 [email protected] +1.767.617.1365 (Dominica) +1.931.492.6776 (USA) (+1.931.4.WB6RQN) _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
