John, I definitely agree. I also have their 8300mAh pack, and it has enough amperage to power the KX3 *and* the PX3. And has a 9v and a 5v USB socket on it, too. There's a bigger one, but I'd rather step up to a LiFePO4 battery, a much bigger one, that I can put in a battery box with a PowerPole distribution box on it. I already have the parts, except for the battery. I may be looking into getting one, and a charger, from Bioenno someday. I'm interested in something like that because I have the QRP-Labs 50w QCX amp for 40m, and it takes a bit more "oomph". And it'd power the Elecraft for far longer, too, which can't be bad!
