Just to be sure.... May I leave my standard Alkaline AA batteries
inside de
KX1 while using external DC supply ???
NO! (Assuming you mean "leave the batteries connected to the radio")
When the batteries are in the holder AND the holder is connected to
the radio,
any external source is connected to the radio AND to the internal
batteries.
That might not be good for the internal batteries if they are the
alkaline type OR
the rechargeable type and the wrong voltage is applied. When using an
external
source usually of 12v or 13.8v, I disconnect the little plug from the
battery tray
to the radio. In the archives is a mod which automatically disconnects
the
internal batteries when a plug is inserted into the side of the KX1.
