Thanks for all the help with this. I had figured it was some kind of temp issue, but I had no idea what it involved. I looked through the KX3 manual and I thought I looked through the KBC3 manual and couldn't find it. Apparently I just missed it. Thanks again. 73, Joel - W4JBB On

The error message could be better, too. I was mystified and I know about the temp sensor in the battery charger. Perhaps it should be OVER 40C and UNDER 0C, especially because you do different things in those two cases. There probably isn't room to say BAT OVER 40C, which would be even better.

I would suggest BAT TEMP as being about the same length and more descriptive. Sure, it's not as informative (it doesn't tell you what the BAT TEMP should be) but it's probably enough to send you to the right documentation. On 10/1/2013 7:45 AM, Walter Underwood wrote: The error message

I got the following message on my KX3 yesterday: Not 0-40C I was using a 16 hr charge. At some point during the day, I turned it on, tuned it to 30 m and was just listening. Later on, I turned the radio off. That is when I got the message. I have not seen this message and don't remember

Hi Joel, I have seen the message once while I was charging my eneloop batteries using a 16 h charge. I am not completely sure if the KX3 was on, but I think so. As far as I know, the message occurs when the batteries are getting too warm while charging, don't know if this is said in the KX3
