[Elecraft] P3 current usage

[Oscar Staudt]

I occasionally take my K3 portable and operate on 12v battery power (no
computer or monitor).  I was also planning to sometimes take my P3.  After
I install my P3SVGA board, will my P3 battery current usage go up at all
times, or can the P3SVGA be disabled/turned off, so the P3 has only the
older, more modest current draw when I'm portable?

thanks,
