My electric bill from ComEd in Chicago charges the same rate per kWh regardless of usage. Adding in all costs, the cost per kWh is 9.3 cents. Other costs of living here are high, but I guess I can afford to keep the K3 powered up if I wanted to.
73, Jim N7US -----Original Message----- K3 #642 measures just over 4mA when off. FT-847 reads 12mA. However, with both those loads on the FP-1030A power supply, it appears to be consuming about 3wH [72 watt-days/26.28 kw-years], apparently just to light the little LED on the panel. In fact, it's very close to 3wH with all the loads disconnected. Our highest marginal PG&E rate is $0.34/kWh which works out to $8.94/yr max. 73, Fred K6DGW ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
