I'd hate to discover that LEILA's siren consumes more downlink power than the signal it is squelching. :-) Especially if it's sometimes triggered by spurious signals in the uplink that aren't from amateur stations.

Wayne replies:

The purpose of LEILA isn't to conserve downlink power.
The purpose of LEILA is to minimize desense (AGC effects) of the uplink receiver.
