[Elecraft] [KX3] LiPol battery pack and KX3 - voltage vs output

[Dick]

I ran into a problem running the KX3 on 14.8vdc Li-ion packs after charging. 
The initial voltage exceeded 16 volts, the KX3 reported it and then shut
down. The solution was a simple one. I put two 50v, 3A diodes in series with
the positive lead.  I also added a center off - spdt switch to bypass one or
both diodes as the voltage dropped after operating for awhile.
