[Elecraft] KX3/P3 external power source

[Fred Jensen]

Bill's observation was for LiPoly.  They're close to 4 V per cell.  3 
gave me around 11.7 to 11.8 fully charged, so 4 in series would be near 
16 V.  My 4S1P LiFePO4 right off the charger measures 13.8 V, but that 
drops to around 12.7 almost immediately after I apply a load.
