Erik,
While that may be a good idea, I do not think the KX2 has any means of
determining whether it is being powered by the internal battery or an
external source.
Perhaps you should confine the use of the Amp Hours measurement to times
when you are running on a battery supply - whether that supply is
internal or external.
For use when running off a shack power supply, the measurement is not
meaningful.

Just got a KX2 last week and I’m loving it! I have a KX3 which I’m using as my

It appears that the KX2 Amp Hours measurement applies to the radio as a whole,
independent of internal vs external power supply. It would be *really* nice if
this could be configured to only increment when using the internal battery, as
that is the best indicator as to whether it needs charging or not. Yes, the
voltage is applicable, but the overall usage over time is certainly a better
indicator.
