[Elecraft] Battery requirements for NPOTA activation with KX3/KXPA100

[Grant Youngman]

SSB is low duty cycle. Even if you have processing cranked way up, with 80 watts out peak, your average power won't be any where near this level. And you do have to stop talking and listen, fetch a beverage, visit the nearest shrubs, right? :)

I think you'd easily do 6 hours with what you have -- and have a good bit of battery left over.
