Hi All.

Regarding the KX3's clock and battery functions.

Am I right in recalling that the clock will run from External power, not
pulling the battery down, if external power is available when the rig is
turned off?

If so, mine has an issue, as even with 24/7 external power (13.5V) when
the rig is "Off", it will drain the internal batteries down to near zero!

I have to periodically power the rig (if not regularly used) and
recharge the batteries as a result.

Is this "normal", or ???

73.
