Has anyone measured the current drain on their K3 when it is
Off ?
I have measured 7mA.
Is this typical ?
The stand-by current of the K3 varies considerably depending on how long
the power has been disconnected before the measurement is made.
I measured the current of my K3 after the power had been disconnected
for about six hours and the current was 15mA as measured on a good
quality moving-coil (d'Arsonval) type of meter. Having used my K3 and
then switched off, the current was 65mA and then reduced slowly.
I can only assume that the variation is due to internal circuits
(capacitors, etc) being recharged after the POWER button switches the K3
off.
