Typically 1.2 to 1.5 amps, varying somewhat with supply voltage and load impedance.

50 Hz primary audio filter, 30 Hz audio-peaking filter (APF). These can be controlled independently. The bandpass can be widened up to about 4 kHz, as well as shifted. The KX2 also has DSP-based noise blanking, auto-notch, and noise reduction.
