Found this a while ago. May not be relevant if you're using external batts. though. Rear antenna: 20 milliamps of additional current is consumed when the rear antenna connector is selected owing to the relay being energized. Use the front antenna connector: This reduces current consumption by about 6% by de-energizing the selector relay. John. 2E1JBC

Nice one Carl. Long time no hear. Take care and stay safe.
Nice activation - what vertical antenna were you using?
@@henryg0blq184 I use the Mad Dog Coil antenna 80m-10m with a 2.5m whip and 4 x 5m radials
@@2e0hpicool - nice sigs with your 818. I hope to be out with mine tomorrow - I tend to use the JPC-12 also with surprising signal reports 😀
@@henryg0blq184 Are you also going to put up a video?
@@ON3PLZsorry no - I’m not making videos 😕
