Make sure the NiMH cells are "precharged" types. They're low-self-discharge.

Standard NiMH will run down by themselves rather quickly.

I will also vouch for the PAE KX33 power supply, it is ideal for the KX2, KX3 or the K2/10.

If you are running a KX3 with a PX3, Pro Audio Engineering has a "Y" cable that powers both from the same supply.

You can also power the KX3 from an external 9-15 V battery pack (e.g. our KXBT2 & its fast charger) or a power supply. One popular supply:

Gerry, the option does not come with cells.  You will have to install 8 NiMh cells into the pack.  I use the highly recommended Sanyo Eneloops in mine.

Here I am at work, my KX3 arrived, and I opened the box.
I had ordered the assembled radio with the NiCad/RTC option.

I presume I can wait till I get home.. But,
Quick question: The radio does not turn on.  Does it come with the battery fully discharged, disconnected or what?  I would have thought there would
be some note about that.
