[Elecraft] Current Draw on 20M

[Randy Farmer]

Mine does exactly the same thing. I even ran it through factory service 
to be sure there wasn't a problem with the LPF module that might be 
causing trouble. They calibrated it and returned it with a clean bill of 
health. It still draws significantly more current on 20 than on any 
other band.
