What is the power consumption? Since this is an always on outlet RF receiver (and transmitter?) how much power does the outlet itself use when on/off

I've put my watt meter on a switch. It didn't register even when I toggled it on or off with no load. So my best guess is that it's less than a watt and if using more to transmit or read a signal then its for less than 1 or 2 seconds which is what my watt reader updates at.

Transmitter is powered on USB cable while receiver is powered by regular AC cable

It has no on off switch but you can unplug it. I tested mine out and found that when nothing is using it it consumes about 0.1 watts and when it is in use that goes up to around 0.3 watts. I wouldn't be worried about leaving it on all the time.

I have a receiver, blu ray player, Apple TV, direct tv box, 63" Samsung plasma, and router all plugged in. With all components in standby, total power consumption is about 40 watts. Also, it doesn't seem warm at all. Hope this helps!

Yes it is. I have it on my desk and I can see my power consumption at any given time. It's wireless and the receiver runs on batteries so you can carry it with you if you're exploring where your usage is going. It's got a lot of features that I don't use, such as multiple tariff rates. I bought it because I want to be able to see the total load on my electrical system at any given time. It does that nicely and refreshes about every 15 seconds with current info.

My receiver isn't chargeable, so I do not know. The station plugs in or uses regular batteries.

No.. But I understand and have measured the device used 20ma Sooooi. Add 20ma to your total when you need to know the whole usage I tested using a split USB cable and 2nd meter

It's not a receiver... its an LNB which needs to be powered by a receiver. The receiver sends the correct power to the LNB 13v or 18v depending on the polarity.

You can use it for your receiver zones depending your setup in multiple rooms,it does not have auto power on/off.You can do that by connecting the included 12 volt dc cable to your receiver, then your receiver will act as power control for it as a trigger.

I'm not sure what the actual power usage is, but I'm sure it's minimal. As for your second question, any object or device subjected to an unstable climate with temperature swings as wide as 38-100 will be adversely affected. Why would you want to subject a finely calibrated electronic instrument such as this to that sort of abuse?

Why would people vote this question down, silly people. Anyway, did you find out how much electricity this uses? I think you can plug this on a Kill-a-watt meter, I am planning to buy one soon to test these things.

The total power required for all channels operating and max is 320 watts - about 25 amps at 13volts. I'm using a 12-15VDC switcher power supply with 30 capacity and have never run into an issue. Respectfully, David

Wish I could tell you -- threw it out because it wouldn't get very hot, so probably very few watts. I was using converter rather than auto outlet, so maybe that was problem, but that's what I needed it for. Good luck.

that is a good question... i assume that the usage/volt is essentially so low that it would be no different than a car charger-your radio left on in a car would use more energy. i think that it would be a good thing to always get in the habit of unplugging the unit. there are wireless transmitter sold on ebay from the UK and sellers claim they work in the US but I have yet to purchase one. its really personal preference I suppose.

I am not sure what you are trying to determine. I don't have the test equipment to measure the small amount of power that this consumes. I did plug it into my Kill-A-Watt power monitor. The power consumed after 90 minutes still registered as zero. The instantaneous current and power were also zero. The device reads out to 2 decimal places so the power and current must me less than .00 amps and .00 watts. It is a very low power consuming device, exactly how low I am not sure. It is obviously not zero, just very low.

It is amateur radio specifically vhf and uhf. Max tx power is 3 watts if i recall correctly
