Most AA battery holders, because they are not designed for high current draw, have relatively high resistance, and you see a lot of voltage sage while transmitting. Elecraft has made an effort with their internal AA cell holder in the KX3 to mitigate this problem, but every external multicell AA holder I have tried has suffered from high resistance and disappointing voltage sag during transmit. If this one is different, that would be great, but I wouldn't count on it.
