The KX3 is my favorite of my HF radios right now. But one of my
annoyances is the internal battery limitations.
I always wind up carrying an external 6_Ah or 10_Ah LiFePo4 battery into
the field when I use this radio, an external charge controller, and
solar panel. It's not a big problem, but it also should not be a big
project to improve this situation. The KXBC3 has enough real estate to
include a lithium battery charger, and even a solar charge controller in
its space. The amount of battery energy that could fit in-place of the
NiMH cells could approximately triple the capacity of the AA cells.
So I have these questions:
1) How many of you out there might buy an upgrade which replaces the
KXBC3 board with a lithium battery manager, and a associated battery pack?
2) Are there any 3rd parties already making anything like this?
