[Elecraft] KX1 Battery Alternatives

Wed Jan 7 08:00:05 2004

Ken, KX1 manual/specs say Min 7V Max 14V - I'm guessing you could push it up
to 15Vdc  w/o injury? I remember accidently operating my K2 on 15.5 VDC from
a computer supply for a while without knowing it until I checked the
voltage.Yikes. Nothing injuried. But KX1 is a different rig and E-craft must
have 'conservatively' drawn the line at 14V for a reason? Just checking to
see if theres a brickwall at 14V? ~Steve/n0tu
