[Elecraft] KX2 Batt

[K9MA]

Yes, I meant separate batteries, NOT the Elecraft battery.  I should have made that clear. 

One possibility I've considered to reduce weight is a three cell battery holder for AA Li-ion batteries, good for about 800 mAh, as I have used with the KX1.  With the KX2, they would be good for about 2 hours of CW contest operation at 5W.
