That sounds correct to me. The efficiency of my Pegasus, Jupiter, and Orion
vary greatly from band to band.

approx. 1-2 A higher than the supply dc.

The bands where the efficiency goes to pot (Idc exceeds 20A for 100W rf out)
are 160, 30, and 15. I know this agrees with at least one other Omni 6
user. Any more?
