For completeness ~
I reran the test with the kill a watt and a SB Radio. The meter measures voltage (119vac), frequency (60Hz), current, wattage, power factor, and VA. So, I recorded the wattage, VA, and PF readings, as the the load seemed to change reactively, changing the PF. Results below. Note that I also (as a check) calculated PF = W/VA, and there is a bit of a different from the readings, but at lower values, so perhaps resolution comes in to play. Note there are some goofy things too, like playing at 50% volume lowering the VA. 37661 Observation, soft power off (Clock Screen Saver) isn't off much at all. Perhaps only the audio amp gets turned off? You can hear it come on and off. So @Slarti, looks like you either have to hard power off, or plug it back in when not in use :). I usually eventually plug mine in before the end of the day after using on battery. I have not run the straight DC test, I do have the bits and pieces to do it, but am thinking it might be moot at this point. @POMDev - Please help check my work, it's early in the AM again :rolleyes: Jim +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: radio and kaw.png | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=37661| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Redrum's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116234 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
