[Elecraft] battery pack query

[Steve Hostetler]

Ralph,
Another possibility if weight is not a concern:  I use 2 7.2V R/C 
batteries (3000 mAh) in series with a 1N4000 to drop the voltage a bit.  
This is ideal for the KX1 because the voltage remains high (13+)  
throughout discharge which maximizes the rf output.  The KX1 will easily 
run a week with this set up.  Be sure to put a fuse in the supply to the 
radio.
