Unless it increases a timed sampling window?..that would make sense. =
Haven't had time to check da sheet on it. It makes sense that pirs eat =
batteries and doors that are opened 100 times a day. If the gb's =
sensitivity increases somekind of timed sampling rate..makes sense.

Why should it take more current?

Is it like ........... listening HARDER?

You'd think the adjustment would be like a volume control/variable
