Hi
Has anyone measured  the current drain on their K3 when it is 
Off ? 

I have measured  7mA.

Is this typical ?

It's probably a moot point anyway, at least in 6 land. The loonies inn  Sacto 
are now promoting the power utilities having remote wired control of all  
your home electronics systems so they can kill your power if you need to cool  
off on a hot day or keep your clock in the microwave running.  Maybe most  of 
you are old enough to remember how they were so anxious to ram the "all  
electric" home down our throats - man what a dismall failure that was. Now it's  
ethanol with 1/30th the efficiency of gasoline (at the same price?). Since I'm  
into farming, I can tell you what it's going to do to the price of food from LA  
taco shells to Brazilian Beef.
 
Oh well - pardon my rant for the month! back to my all solar station  work.
