PA Current Meter for 6xxx

I see in the 3.10.10 change log that a fix has been applied to 6xxx regarding the pa current..

SMART-11281 Fixed a PA issue with 6000 Series Radios where milliamps were not being converted correctly to amps

I assume this is related to the pa current meter…

{"src":"RAD","num":300,"nam":"PACURRENT","low":0,"hi":10,"desc":"PA current","unit":"Amps","fps":0,"topic":"RAD/300/PACURRENT"}

I did a test on my 6600 to see what the pa current values were after the upgrade. When the radio is not in xmit I see a value of 8.45 which I assume it 8.45 amps. I then keyed up the radio into a dummy load at about 80 watts output and the meter now shows 0. I then backed of the power output to 10 watts and keyed up and see 2.82.

None of this makes any sense. I would assume I would see more current draw when I am transmitting but according to the meter values I see that is not the case.

So is the pa current meter actually working now with 3.10.10 on 6xxx? Is there a conversion I need to do to apply in order to get accurate pa current values? The wiki does show a conversion..

When I ran the conversion using the formula it takes the 8.45 value from the meter and converts it to 2163.2. If that is milliamps then converting it to amps I get 2.1632 amps. That seems reasonable to me. However if I transmit at 75 watts out the value comes back as 10 which is only 2.56amps converted. Either I am doing something wrong with the conversion or the meter is not working correctly.
