Back to current again.
Just a little info for anyone intererested.
The rx gain setting (accessable via power on+holding A+B+C) can add another
20mA drain between min and max. I turned mine up a bit to compensate for the
very small antenna I use for 160m.
I also see that the display light adds another 20mA too.
I also changed the deviation via this set of menu's too.
Since just about every FM rx seems to use a fairly wide IF filter, even when
classed as a 25 or 12.5Khz radio, the tx deviation might be set appropriatly
for such channelling, but the IF af filters are never truly tight enough.
So we all end up turning up our tx deviation to compensate for everyone elses
wide IF filters.
Doing so I can now detect the difference in tonal response on tx when
switching
the microphone tone switch, the two way one, and add's that "brightness"
that I always felt it lacked a little of.
