Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Internal Batteries

No, the Amazon Basics batteries are not the same as the Eneloop Pro. For one thing, they are 2400 mAh instead of 2550 mAh. The best bet is that Amazon Basics batteries are the previous version of Eneloops, made in the old factory. But that is a guess. Personally, I’m not interested in saving

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Internal Batteries

How do they test for actual capacity? The first Q on Amazon says these 2800 mAh batteries actually tested as 2000 mAh. That is believable, since they are about half the cost of the Amazon Basics batteries. Amazon Q: https://www.amazon.com/ask/questions/Tx1YAAW3L67OV3R/ wunder K6WRU Walter

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Internal Batteries

I've had good results in a number of applications with any of the "pre-charged" NiMH. "pre-charged" is the key. That's the normal marketing-speak for low-self-discharge. Eneloops are a very safe bet. 73 -- Lynn On 5/9/2018 8:01 AM, Walter Underwood wrote: No, the Amazon Basics batteries

Re: [Elecraft] KXAT2 ATU MD Menu

Pierre, You can test the inductors and capacitors using these menu entries. Here’s a general approach: 1. Connect a dummy load to the antenna jack. 2. Set the KX2 for 40 meters, about 3 watts. 3. With the ATU in BYP (bypass) mode, a TUNE should report SWR of 1.0. 4. Selecting ATU MD = L5,

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Internal Batteries

I found that the standard Eneloops were better for my KX3 than the Eneloop Pro. While the Eneloop Pro has a higher total capacity at lower rates of discharge than the standard Eneloop, my samples had a higher internal resistance than the standard Eneloop. That translated into a greater voltage sag

Re: [Elecraft] CW Splatter?

If it really IS on your signal and not an issue at the receiving end [more likely], that sounds like arcing in your antenna/feedline system.  Arcing at 10 W seems strange, but it can be "micro-arcs" inside a poorly assembled connector. Before tearing anything apart, I'd arrange for a test or
