Hi, I have my fully loaded KX3 on order and have some questions about the power supply. I've operated with my FT-817 powered from an 8Ah LiPol battery pack, which has 3 LiPol cells in series and gives from about 12.5V when full down to about 9.5V when fully drained.
The FT-817 gives just about full output power throughout the range, dropping the output slightly as the voltage gets below ~10.5V. Given that the KX3 can operate from 8 1.2V NiMH cells, I am guessing that it will be fine with using my LiPol pack as an external power source. But how efficient will it be? What output power can I expect to see at the different voltages? 73, Thomas M0TRN ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
