    DavidSTX,

    According to my APC Back-UPS Pro 1500va unit, the modem (HT2000w) is drawing about 40w at idle with clouds and a signal of ~110.  Granted this is using the information the UPS provides and isn't very accurate, it should be a better estimate than initially stated.  Probably wouldn't go up but 5-10w at most in stormy weather.

    Thanks,

Thanks CORROSIVE, you rock... 40 watts is not bad at all, and clear skies are the norm here in the desert. My recevie strength is usally about a 170-180 on the hn9000, so it should do good here. Now just have to wait until payday to buy the equiment. Have fun with the HT2000W testing, I look forward to that review.
