Hi
You could buy a 3s battery such as what is used in radio control planes and
quadcopters. . There are various current ratings available. You can choose one
that fits the inside of the radio.
As to a charger I've used a turnigy accucel 5 amp. Works very well but you need
an external 12v power
Hi
I think this is more or less in place now. If you put the tuner in manual mode,
it will only tune if you press tune and then hold this setting. When you tune
to a different location it automatically will load the existing tune settings.
What I have done is a manual tune every 20 kHz or so
Hi
Nope not possible. The US and DN command is not working on the K3 or kx3. It

There is a way though, and that is to use the k3/0 protocol.
