"Incredibly wasteful" - Seems like a little bit of an overstatement.
That's only 4.968 Kilowatt-Hours a month assuming it is idling 24/7 for 30 days. For me, that'd be about $0.49 in electricity. At $0.22 a KW-Hr, it'd still be under a buck per month. If this is still "incredibly wasteful" then you need to check every other appliance and electrical device in your house, because most of them are likely consuming "incredible" amounts of electricity when they are "OFF". If you really must avoid consuming this 5 KWHr (it won't be that much "waste" because you have to subtract the actual usage time), then you can place an accessible switch like a properly sized multiplug inline with the KPA500, et al. to switch off the power altogether AFTER you shut it down at the front panel. Have a great day... 73, ______________________ Clay Autery, KY5G MONTAC Enterprises (318) 518-1389 > In all good conscience, I can't live with the PA consuming 7W all day, every > day - that's incredibly wasteful. > > ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
