The lowest I can get the current down to is 200 mA.  That's in battery saver mode (LED graph = off, performance = battery, and LCD backlights = day (off).

If I start to turn those options on, I get:

LCD = nite = 240 mA
Opt = Perf = 300 mA
LED = Bar = 320 mA

My options are:
KAF2 Filter
KAT2 tuner
KNB2
160m module
Internal battery (not used for these tests)
SSB Module

External PS set so that the internal meter reads 12.4 V.

Let us know what the results are.  I would love to be able to get below 200 mA.

73,
