Regarding using 16.7 V LiPo battery and regulator with KX3...

I have been quite successful using 4S LiPo batteries for 4 years now, first
with my FT-817, now with my KX3.  My equipment is shown here:
http://kr7w-sota.blogspot.com/  Scroll down a bit for the battery stuff.
 If you view the Flickr photos- be sure to turn on the 'show info' option
(upper R corner) for more info.

  I can charge my batteries in the car to/from the operating site from the
car accessory power jack.  At home I use a 1 amp wall transformer or
connect it to a ham radio power supply- like Astron- to charge at 1/2 amp.

For more info, email me off list.

FYI and Best Regards,

Rich KR7W
