BioennoPower LiFePO4 batteries solved my power supply birdies problem. I now run the KX3/PX3/KXPA100 and the K3/P3/VGA monitor each from a 40 Ah battery. They came with chargers so I habitually recharge whenever I QRT. It's so nice to be free of AC mains restrictions and free from linear

Which one? I didn't like the EMI from the 10 amp model but could live with it if absolutely necessary. I've been talking to them about the problem hams have with noise and we might convince them to sell quieter LiFePO4 chargers. -- Marc. SDG > On Dec 21, 2015, at 3:51 PM, Jim Sheldon

Oh, yeah. That's the first one I bought from them at the summer sale, and I did complain right away. Those are ideal for powering the KX3 and I carry one in the Pelican with my bare KX3. The USB port is used to power a plug-in LED lamp. I do wish more people making those power supplies

Charger voltage as it finishes the internal balance cycle rises to 14.6 volts. The K3 and KX3 seem happy then. 40 amp hours at 12-13 volts should last 4 hours key down. I don't usually last that long. But the charger QRN is about S2 so you could conduct tag chew QSOs while recharging. My

Assuming you are using DATA A mode, the filter defaults to 400 Hz. Widen the filter width using the Width and Shift knobs to a wide bandpass (2.8kHz) and you should find you have a flat audio output with RX EQ set with all bands at zero. If you are using SSB mode, there can be other factors
