[Elecraft] KX2 battery in PX3

[Mark]

For those who don't know, Edouard is the author of of the Wizkers:Radio software.  

When I saw this, I thought it looked like a cool idea for portable use, an ideal companion to a KX2...except a KX2 doesn't have RX IQ out :-(

  With all the discussion on KX2 IQ output going on, I don't want to muddle
things up even further, but as Mark KE6BB was reminding me earlier, there
is a nice way you can power the PX3 using a standard KX2 battery that I
demonstrated a couple of weeks back:

   I did this some time ago and it works great - it looks like Elecraft
made provisions for such a battery in the design of the PX3 PCB. You need
to open the PX3 to recharge the battery, but it actually lasts for quite a
while, I haven't made precise measurements yet though.

my 2 cents,

Ed, W6ELA
