Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Beta firmware rev 1.54: CW transmit in SSB mode (etc.)

is there a way to add a option under the firmware to show what the current batt charge status is ? so you know if you need to charge or not. also I have a 12v 4.58 amp power supply I am using and I get a lower supply warning when I try to charge the batt with the radio in standby mode

would also be a nice option to see a symbol to show if your on batt or plugged-in like on a laptop. but I have a feeling this is a short coming of the lcd and firmware ? __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

Hi Richard, If it really is 12 V, the voltage might be too low. I don't have the manual for the charger at hand in the moment, but I think it says it would like to see 13.8(?) V or something very close to this. Vy 73 Ralf, DL6OAP Am 31.07.2013 um 14:37 schrieb Richard Neese

You can view the battery voltage using DISP, then dialing to the BT entry with VFO B. Your power supply voltage may be set too low to use for charging the internal battery pack. If you could raise this voltage to 13.0V or higher, you wouldn't see the warning when trying to charge. 4.5A at 12V

KX3 beta firmware rev 1.54 (with DSP rev 1.21) is now available. This revision allows you to send CW while in SSB mode, useful whenever band conditions or power level favor the use of CW. This is often the case on 6 meters where a QSO might start in SSB but switch to CW quickly as fading
