[Elecraft] KXBC3 questions...

[Jeff Herr]

1. Why can't the charging circuit apply charge current until a voltage
threshold is reached as opposed to being timer controlled?
2. Why can't charging be initiated by the battery voltage being below a
threshold  ?

The ability to sense the battery voltage exists.

Subject: [Elecraft] KXBC3 arrived

The KXBC3 for my KX3 (serial # 620) arrived today. It took less than an hour
to install, set up, and test.  Most of the time went into making sure the
sockets that connect it to the main board were lined up properly before
pressing it down (slowed down by poor eyesight and less than steady hands).

It all went well, and is currently charging my IMEDION 2500 ma, batteries,
with another 13.27.00 to go before I know if it shuts off as expected, and
charged to what voltage, etc.

Thanks again Elecraft for keeping the dream alive.
