The power consumption of an FR24 (FlightRadar24) receiver depends on the specific model and setup.
Generally, the receivers are designed to be energy-efficient since they often operate continuously. Here’s a breakdown:
• Typically consumes around 5–10 watts.
• This translates to about 120–240 watt-hours per day or approximately 3.6–7.2 kWh per month, depending on usage.
For precise measurements, you can use a watt-meter to check the actual power draw of your setup.
