Default Jim Weir - Radio Receive Current

...

The Escort 2 I replaced it with is rated just 0.5 amps during receive, and
the
ICOM IC-A5 that replaced *that* runs for hours on a set of AA batteries.
Were
those first-generation solid-state radios really that inefficient?


yes. back then no one thought about power efficiency.
