Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Newbie question...

Make sure the NiMH cells are "precharged" types. They're low-self-discharge. Standard NiMH will run down by themselves rather quickly. 73 -- Lynn On 5/31/2018 3:10 PM, Don Wilhelm wrote: I will also vouch for the PAE KX33 power supply, it is ideal for the KX2, KX3 or the K2/10. If you are

I will also vouch for the PAE KX33 power supply, it is ideal for the KX2, KX3 or the K2/10. If you are running a KX3 with a PX3, Pro Audio Engineering has a "Y" cable that powers both from the same supply. 73, Don W3FPR On 5/31/2018 4:43 PM, Wayne Burdick wrote: You can also power the KX3

Be careful opening the KX-3. There is a ribbon cable in there that remains attached when you open the unit. Mike - KI8R On Thu, May 31, 2018 at 4:47 PM, Gerry Hull wrote: > DOH!!! > > I have Sony Enloops at home :-) > > LOL. Have a great evening! > > 73, > > Gerry Hull, W1VE Hancock, NH USA

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Newbie question...

You can also power the KX3 from an external 9-15 V battery pack (e.g. our KXBT2 & its fast charger) or a power supply. One popular supply: https://proaudioeng.com/products/pae-kx33-low-rfi-ac-power-supply/ 73, Wayne N6KR > On May 31, 2018, at 1:38 PM, Michael Blake wrote: > > Gerry, the

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Newbie question...

And if you can’t find Eneloops locally and have to order batteries on line, and don’t want to wait, just open it up and put in 8 standard AA cells. It will work fine. Just don’t turn on the charger :-) Grant NQ5T K3 #2091, KX3 #8342 > On May 31, 2018, at 4:39 PM, Grant Youngman wrote: > >

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Newbie question...

First, it designed to use NiMH batteries, not NiCads. Second, batteries are not included. I’d suggest Panasonic Eneloop Pros, but others have different preferences. Whatever. Grant NQ5T K3 #2091, KX3 #8342 > On May 31, 2018, at 4:34 PM, Gerry Hull wrote: > > Here I am at work, my KX3

Gerry, the option does not come with cells. You will have to install 8 NiMh cells into the pack. I use the highly recommended Sanyo Eneloops in mine. Michael Blake k9...@mac.com > On May 31, 2018, at 4:34 PM, Gerry Hull wrote: > > Here I am at work, my KX3

[Elecraft] KX3 Newbie question...

Here I am at work, my KX3 arrived, and I opened the box. I had ordered the assembled radio with the NiCad/RTC option. I presume I can wait till I get home.. But, Quick question: The radio does not turn on. Does it come with the battery fully discharged, disconnected or what? I would have
