Re: [Elecraft] [ KX2] KXBT2 Charger

Yes, with Lithium batteries, follow the instructions. If they do not recharge within the specified time, something is wrong. Whether that specified charging time is 2 hours, or something else is of no consequence. If it does not charge within the specified time, it is cause for investigation

Currently, macros are associated with the trailing edge of a programmable switch. What you're proposing is an option through which a macro (SWT16;) could be associated with the leading edge (and the trailing edge) of a switch. I like the idea. Can't hurt to ask Elecraft. 73's Joe Stone
