OK, folks, I’ll admit to this being a “dummy load” error. However, I have searched the archives and can’t find a satisfactory answer. I have a KX3, SN 70xx. I installed the internal battery option more than a year ago, however, I moved across country in July and haven’t connected the KX3 up to

Sorry for the OT post … but I am thinking of using one of my Elecraft rigs in the truck … mobile applications. Does anyone know the amp rating of the two 12v power outlets in the Silverado 1500 for 2017? And, if you do know, is it switched (with the ignition) or always on? Thanks in

Ladies and Gents: I am thinking about getting a KX1 kit for a mini-DXpedition to Bonaire (PJ4) early next year. I think that and an Array Solutions PS-12R1A wall wart power supply plus an EndFedZ 40/20 antenna should be a nice little package that will easily fit in a backpack. That power
