[Elecraft] KX1 Alignment and Test - Part I - Power Supply - Batteries OK?

[Martin Gillen]

Hi.

Really dumb question.

I don't have a power supply unit but the alignment &
test
instructions state:

Connect an 8 to 14 VDC power supply to J1 with the 
positive (+) lead to the center pin.

Do you think I can just put 6 AA cells into the
supplied battery holders in series to generate 9V,
and use that in the alignment phases?

Is there enough current there?

Is it stable enough?

Thanks,
Martin.
