I use my K3 as the oscillator for teaching my CWadvisors Beginners Class. I turn the power down to zero watts. With a set of ear buds I can put one over the laptop microphone with a paper clip rigged to hold it on and the other in one ear. Rube Goldberg would be so proud! On Thu, Sep 23, 2021

While your KX3 with the Ni-MH batteries installed is ON with an external power supply, tap DISP and rotate the OFS/VFO B nobl to find BT voltage. This lets you know the battery voltage. My KX3 with fully charged Ni-MH batteries shows “BT 10.7V”. It should be more than 8V with new Ni-MH

Send a picture of the batteries installed. With regard to the charging the Eneloop's, they come fully charged and thus setting up to charge them might deliver an error. One other possibility, what is the minimum operating voltage (Bat min) in the menu is set to? Try something like 9v.
