[Elecraft] Good Battery for K3 Portable Ops

[W4SK]

Strictly depends on the power level you intend to run.  I ran my KX3 at 5w 
for all of Field Day, and for a two-day camping trip last weekend without 
charging in between.  It's a "K2 Energy" lithium ion and weighs just a few 
ounces.  Couldnt be happier with it.  After 4 days of off-on operating, 
still produces 12.4 volts.

YMMV.
