[Elecraft] Elecraft KX3

[Wayne Burdick]

Safety, handling, cost, and flexibility during emergencies all favor AA cells Also, we all have stashes of NiMH cells already :)

Other battery types can be accommodated, but 8 AAs plus internal  NiMH charger is what we'll offer initially. Of course there's also a 2.1-mm jack for an external supply/battery.
