[Elecraft] KX3 Battery Life

[Peter Lambert]

Hello David,

I use the KX3 for SOTA.  Typically about an hour of reasonably hectic (ie hi
TX to RX ratio) is involved.  5W SSB.  It consumes about 1/4 of the battery
pack capacity.  For me these are 2.4Ahr enerloop LSD cells.

Definitely no need to carry extra battery weight unless you're going to be
there for a couple of days.

Regards,
Peter VK4JD

A quickie: wanna take it on a hike. Got my wire. Got the ATU. Charging up
the batteries. Operating SSB QRP @ 5 watts (maybe less), how long would you
expect the batteries to last? Operating CW same?
