Ed, Howard, The HCT draws less than 20 ma with the backlight off, which is typical when using it outdoors (it has a transflective display). With the backlight off, a 9V Alkaline battery should last approx. 20 hours. 2.5 times longer with a 9V Lithium battery.
With the backlight on, it is going to draw more current naturally, but you can control that with 5 levels on intensity provided. And you have the option of powering it externally, if you like. 73, Shel KF0UR QRPworks -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Ham-Central-Terminal-tp7626371p7626379.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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]
