Cathy,
My K1 draws about 55 mA on receive and puts out 7 watts on transmit.
Of course it's CW only. :-)
Well, let me brag a little: My PQD5, homebrew in 1987, draws only 33mA
on receive. And it's SSB!
It puts just 5W out, to stay in the QRP category. At home I used it with
a 300W amplifier (using 6146 tubes), but on many backpacking trips I
used it barefoot. It's still in perfect working order, and the amp too.
The PQD5 is described here:
