[Elecraft] Fwd: kx1 higher current draw 80m receive

[Don Wilhelm]

Bob,

It is not a problem.  Look at the KXB3080 instructions and you will find 
that on 80 meters there is an added 18 ma. current draw - that is due to 
the relay on the LPF board, it is not a latching type, and it must be 
engaged when on 80 meters.
