KXB3080 current darw

[Bob Boehmer-2]

I just completed part 2 of the KXB3080 installation. Current draw is
between 41 - 43 mA depending on the band I have selected. The expected
range is 34 - 37 mA.

I'm not overly concerned but this is more than 10% off and I am
wondering if I should try to track this down. All current readings
were within specs when I originally assembled the KX1.

Jim -

Yes, I waited for the display to go off before taking the current measurement.
