K3/100 power consumption

[Gustavo Villada]

hello,

if I have a K3/100 with all options ( 2nd recv, 2m, tuner & P3), which will
be the watt/amp consumption?

and which must be the continuum regime?

I am locking DC supplies in local market and are with luck about 20amps peak
(and weigh a ton, since they have transformers)

Abstract: When contemplating the prospect of operating portable with batteries,
it's useful to have a clear idea of power consumption choices over a range of
output levels. Data on power consumption can inform the choice of what power
level to use, to optimize both battery life and communication. This short note
presents data taken from measurements of the total power consumption (current
draw) of the Elecraft K3/100 transceiver over a range of output power levels.
