[Elecraft] K3 draws 3 microamps in "sleep" mode with an alarm set

[wayne burdick]

The K3 has a very versatile real-time-clock chip that runs when the rig 
is off. It draws about 3 microamps as I recall. If you have an alarm 
set, it will wake up the radio at the appointed time.

There's also a "standby" mode (which I think Lyle was referring to) 
where everything is off but the time/date display and LCD backlight. 
The alarm can also wake up the radio from this condition.
