how large you make the MTBF of each part ... put enough of them on the
rocket and something will always be broken."

length of the wire. Your "long
For years I've carried and used a 50 ft spool of #22 insulated stranded
hookup wire. I un-spool the length I guess-ta-mate to be the required
amount, put a 1/2 hitch at the spool the wire comes on, and toss the
spool end into the nearest tree, allowing the spool to hang down from a
limb. The
The Windows PC utility is built for x64 (which runs on both Windows 32- and
64-bit, Windows XP and later).
Only the Mac and Linux versions of the Utility require 64-bit OS.
I'll ask our webmaster to update the web page accordingly.

Great thread,
All who are interested in the KX series Elecraft gear should subscribe
to the elecraft...@groups.io group where KX series gear is discussed
exclusively. When Wayne isn't debugging K4 firmware he also often posts
there!

I downloaded the Utility and Beta firmware and all is OK as far as I can

I don't have a complete summary in one place. I'll try to put one together
later. A few that come to mind are:

Nice analysis. For Eneloop Pro batteries, with 2550 mAh capacity,
that would be 21% of capacity for the clock plus 15% for self-discharge.
Of course, whenever the KX3 is connected to “shore power”, that is
used instead of the battery.

I opened my KX3 and measured the current draw on my internal Eneloop
batteries while the radio is off. That current is 60 microamps. At that
rate, my 2000mAh batteries will completely drain in roughly 3 years, 9
months.
Looking at it from a different angle: After 1 year, a fully charged set

I tried the Coghlan’s laundry reels and switched to the SOTAbeams midi winders.
The laundry reels were slow and took a lot of winding. The quality control is a
little iffy, too. Sometimes you get one that binds, sometimes they are smooth.
And if you drop them just right, they pop open.
