[Elecraft] LO BATT

[Tom Zeltwanger]

If the input DC voltage to the K2 is too low, it will say LO BATT (for battery 
or external supply). I got the same message when I was using a power supply 
that was putting out too little voltage. The manual tells you the acceptable 
range, but your power supply should not drop to 10 volts.

Others here will have more detailed info they can provide.
