That would be 100mA at 12V.

You're right, of course.
I got busy reading about a few hundred milliamps for this in, 500 for
that (at +3 or +5V, not 12) and slipped the decimal. Oops.
In any case, 170 mA is a pretty good measurement. That's sitting in
my driveway with GPS and flarm transmission active, no threats.
