Re: [Elecraft] Solar Power for KX3

The key here is a good charge controller. I use a mppt controller and it is 98 % efficient. Gets 30% for charge. Has 3 different charge rates and handles all battery types. My RV is also wind turbine and solar powered. I have 560 watt solar to my mppt charger, then to my 900 amp hr battery bank.

My k2, k3 and kx3 do great on digital. I run 5 watt most the time. I have run 25 watts before. But 5 watts have made many contacts in cw and psk31. Good luck Gerald. On Feb 28, 2013 6:43 PM, Stan AE7UT ae7...@gmail.com wrote: I have both a K3 and KX3 and was thinking it would be nice to use my
