My guess is that with Field Day approaching more than a few guys, like myself, will find themselves with a faulty battery in there K2 due to lack of proper charging. I wasn't surprised that t is was the case but I was a bit stumped when my A&A Smart Charger was not able to properly power my K2. It was getting the infamous "Lo Bat" message (and no, the probe switch was the problem) until I realized that the arrangement with the Smart Charger calls the battery into use and the recharges it -- which, of course is good for the battery life.
Connecting my Astron PS to the original power jack on the K2 removed all of the issues (except for the dead battery, of course). Just an obvious observation, FWIW.
