[Elecraft] For KX-1 fans -- some real simple ways to pack up some outboard batteries...

[David Cutter]

A tidy arrangement, but I would have one less set of connectors in series 
with the battery, possibly more:  either I would solder the wires direct to 
the KX1 pcb, or, not to spoil the KX1, I would eliminate the power poles. 
The fuse and holder will drop quite a lot of precious mV as well, so I would 
be tempted to solder directly to the fuse or use fuse wire without the 
holder soldered direct to the battery box terminal, then a joint to the 
supply wire.
