Terje,

A loss of power will not allow the KX3 to power down gracefully, so some information such as what frequency, mode, and other data may be lost. To insure a seamless transfer between batteries, you may want to design your controls so that two battery packs are in parallel for a short time rather than creating a gap in the power source to the KX3.

Hi,

I’m wondering if anything is known about how much of an intermittent loss of 
power a KX3 will more or less not notice, during full use (transmit at 15W), 
and during receive?

Asking because I’m considering some power solutions, and wondering if it could 
be useful to switch between multiple battery packs in an automated way.  For 
that, it’d be useful to have some design targets.  I’m assuming a loss of power 
for 1ns would be a non-issue, and I’m assuming 10 seconds would be a huge 
problem, but wondering if there are any definitive lines somewhere between 
those extremes?
