[Elecraft] OK, KX1 nervous Nellie question testing the 80-30 board

[Don Wilhelm]

Pete,

That does not sound excessive - it is within a 10% range.  The current 
draw on 80 meters will be a bit higher than other bands because the 
relay on the LPF board is not a latching type, so it must draw current 
when 80 meters is selected.
