[Elecraft] KX1 battery options and 4 w SSB

[Norm Havercroft]

Phil,

The best price I have found for AA lithiums is about $12 for a six pack.
123 lthium 3Vs can be had for $1.25 each or $5 for a 12v pack.  I have seen
123 lithiums for as much as $9.99 each but if you look around, you can do
much better.  As I stated it a recent post, I just got 20 of them from
Botach for $25. Cheaper, lighter and higher voltage.

NiMH 10 AA pack for "high power" and the internal Li AAs for low power."
