[Elecraft] The KX3 as a shortwave broadcast receiver

[gteague]

i sent the guy like 3 emails asking why in the heck he eliminated the
battery from the piglet when he discontinued the pigtail. but i went ahead
and ordered the piglet and his serial cable as well despite grave
misgivings about how i'm going to power the damm thing--what was just
posted here is the sum total of my knowledge of those anderson posts--first
i've ever heard of them.

why would you yank a perfectly good 9v battery out of a device designed
from the ground up to accompany a battery powered radio and battery powered
ios devices and leave the user to carry yet another device around just to
power the interface? hopefully he'll ignore or forgive my sarcasm and tell
me what the solution is to allow for portable operation without carrying an
outboard battery with tangling wire dangling. it's a complete mystery to me.
