There are so many variables that it would be difficult to say EXACTLY
how much, I can say by looking at an actual bill of one of my 28 channel
800 MHz Public Safety sites my electric consumption is around 7000 KW
Hours per month that includes three (3) 6000 BTU Air Conditioners which
is the biggest hog of electric.
