[Elecraft] Power Requirements: K3/0-Mini?

[Jack Brindle]

Good question. According to the K3/0 Remote manual, the power supply is for the remote boxes. The K3/0 itself runs off the shack 12V supply.
But, there are no specifications in the manual that says the supply requirements for the K3/0.

Perhaps someone in WV can answer or someone might measure the current draw for this K3/0?
