[Elecraft] KX3 #802 Question

[Wayne Burdick]

This would normally only happen if you were using the internal  
speaker, listening to signals that were quite strong, continuously,  
and causing the radio to hit its receive-mode current limit. In that  
case it backs down AF gain as a first strategy to keep current  
reasonable. If this fails it will eventually turn the radio off, on  
the theory that the excess current drain is a symptom of an underlying  
problem.

What's your receive-mode current drain under the following conditions:  
40 m, CW mode, AF gain all the way down, backlight off, preamp off,  
MENU:RX ISO = OFF, MENU:RX I/Q = OFF?
