[Elecraft] K1 Battery Power

[Don Wilhelm]

Ted,

The lower voltage of the battery pack is the reason.
If you are using NiMH batteries, the voltage is likely about 9.6 volts, 
and may be even lower during transmit.

It would make sense if this were a battery power conservation strategy; but I couldn’t find anything about it in either the battery option manual or the K1 manual.  Is this the designed behavior?
