[Elecraft] KX3 feature request: mAh counter

[David Orman]

Hi,

A feature that would be very handy (if possible) would be a mAh counter
that could be reset as needed. With many of the batteries we use in the
field (LiFePO4 external or high quality NiMH internal) having relatively
flat discharge curves, monitoring voltage doesn't give you a very good
indication of state of charge.

If there were a counter for mAh usage that could be reset as needed (new
external pack, internal batteries swapped, moving from a PSU to battery) we
could more accurately determine state of charge. Better yet, a configurable
alarm coupled with this would be amazing.

Hopefully this would be possible as we already have current draw available,
as I could see it being very useful for those of us operating portable,
ensuring we always know when to swap out/charge our batteries instead of
seeing the voltage drop relatively suddenly and needing to swap in a
hurry/at a non-ideal time.

Thank you,
David
