Re: [Elecraft] KX3 battery upgrade?

2020-10-05 Thread Paul Chesloff
Great idea, count me in!  

At first I thought “The new KXBC3a should be backward compatible to NiMH 
cells”.  Then I realized “Who would want to go back”?  Then for safety reasons 
make it impossible to “accidentally“ connect the LiFePo4 battery pack to a 
KXBC3.

Re: [Elecraft] KE7X, Fred Cady, silent key

2019-05-17 Thread Paul Chesloff
Very sorry to hear!  Years ago when I purchased my first Elecraft product, an 
early KX3, Fred’s companion book totally demystified it for me and it continues 
to be a valuable resource to this day.  Thank you Fred.
