Another strange aspect of the SDR1K is the current drawn when 'off'. When it is switched on, before connecting the console, it draws 0.8 amp. If I switch the unit to off the current drawn goes up to 1.3 amps! The really strange thing is that the fan is on in the 'on' position, but off in the

Dave, I think this comes from the negative logic which is used to switch on/off the relays of the SDR1000. Many relay solenoids are actually energized in the position Standby and de-energized, depending on settings, in the ON position. The ON/STANDBY switch is IMHO merely a kind of softswitch

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
