I am very interested in this topic!!! I DO juice my KX1. I run it at 14.2 VDC when at home and it makes quite big difference in the output power! Of course, in the field I use a 12 VDC battery. I have almost never used the internal battery setup with a nominal 9 VDC.
I am a big fan of more power when needed. I was stuck at 85 DXCC entities until I got an Ameritron 811-H amp from eBay. I now have 94 confirmed and 17 pending entities. BTW, I sold my legal limit amp to buy my K3, so I do understand the joy of barefoot operations with a good rig and of course I have had my KX1 for years now.

Does anyone "juice" their K3 bu turning up the PS voltage to 15 volts or so. I do that with my K2/10 to get some more power out. I was wondering if that is a practice with the K3 which I am not doing.
