[Elecraft] 4S lipo battery for KX3?

[Mark Goldberg]

I use LiFePo4 batteries. 4s will go from 14 to 12V from 0 to 90% discharge.
Perfect match for KX3 with full power all the way. No voltage reduction or
noisy DC-DC converter needed. Search the Elecraft lists archives for mine
and other posts with sources.
