Mark,
Thank you for this excellent response. This is exactly what I need: solid advice with rationale behind it. I checked a few things. All eight cells are now at 1.4V. When I turn the TRX on, the integrated meter shows 10.5 V now. I think this morning, when I checked after the full charge, it showed 11.6V. Not sure if that is a good sign after only having it on for a bit, tinkering. The BAT MIN was at the default setting of 10.0 V. I changed it to 8.5. Kent briefly contributed his opinion that a wall wart would not be good for charging the KX3 but did not give his reasons (I will not operate it off that adapter). What is your opinion, particularly regarding the wall charger's specs of 13 - 15.8V (@960mA). Is this peak voltage potentially too high? Other than that, I fail to construe even one reason why this adapter would not be fit to feed the 200mA charger or cause my heating issue. Thanks a bunch! 73, Arno Kg7bjm ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
