John, The typical receive current for a K2/10 is 240 to 300 ma. depending on the option set. If the KDSP2 is added, it will be higher by about 50 ma.
A fully loaded K2 I am currently working on draws 300 ma. with all options connected (with KAF2 not the KDSP2). Removing the KAT2 and the KIO2 plug drops the current to 280 ma. That is with 13.8 volts supplied from the power source. 73, Don W3FPR On 5/26/2011 10:25 PM, John wrote: > Hello, > > I hope to learn the typical current consumption of the K2/QRP with and > without various options installed.
