It sure makes a difference when things are designed for low power.
My whole daniels rig, receivers and transmitters for 2M and 440, draws
about 80mA at idle. I have a mobile radio that I use for a control
link, which draws about 300mA at idle.
In the daniels, there's a lot of attention paid to power consumption,
even the front panel LEDs are turned off unless needed. Audio amps are
switched off unless in use, pretty much every trick taken to reduce
power consumption.
The receiver modules each draw 30mA.
