Keith, That was the problem. Somehow, I had accidentally bumped the variable voltage control on the power supply down to 10 volts.
During the contest, I kept wondering why the dial screen was dimmer and flickered during SSB transmit. I chalked that up to knowing I was using a marginal AC circuit at a portable site. Sadly, I did not resolve this until near the end of contest. 73, Henry - K4TMC On Mon, Mar 28, 2022 at 1:24 PM Keith Trinity WE6R <ke...@elecraft.com> wrote: > Yes, but the "BAT LOW" message has nothing to do with the clock battery. > > BAT LOW means your supply voltage is below the level you have set in > Config Menu "BAT MIN". > > From the manual; > BAT MIN 11.0 Low-battery warning threshold; 11.0 recommended.
