Power Amperage Drawn at Bootup on FLEX-6400

marwalk

in FLEX-6000 Signature Series
The 6400 specifications state that its power draw is 1.7A Receive Typ., 23A Transmit Max. What is the typical amperage drawn by the 6400 at bootup?

Thanks,
Mark

    I suspect it would be fairly low -- probably close to the 1.7A or less on receive. There's no big need for a power 'surge' on bootup like in the old tube rigs...

    Testing a 6500, the "off" current was 170mA and maximum current during boot was 1.33A as measured by a Powerwerx Watt Meter // Power Analyzer.
